The Pritchard and Pritchard team carry out the living wall maintenance of this stunning installation at the University of Plymouth which uses the Fytotextile living wall system from Scotscape.
This green wall has been part of an exciting research program, undertaken at the University of Plymouth at their Sustainability Hub to assess the insulation properties of vertical gardens when retrofitted onto existing buildings.
When living walls first arrived in the UK there were some rather well documented living wall disasters! Notably this school living wall on Paradise Passage in London – ironic! This was definitely a project without a living wall maintenance schedule in place.
Famously the irrigation had been switched off over the school holidays, it was a great shame and for some time hindered the progress of the living wall market here in the UK.
Fortunately innovation and knowledge has ensured that by and large living walls are cared for correctly.
The long awaited COP 26 has arrived, we are full of anticipation waiting for this global climate change conference to deliver some change and positive outcomes.
