Looks pretty. Perhaps I’m just ignorant – what’s the reason of doing this instead of a hedge?

Sorry, but that is not gardening. Anoyne can spend money on “systems”.

Looks nice right now but I haven’t seen one of these that lasts long, sooner or later it becomes an unsightly wall full of plastic pockets

A bit too London corporate head office for my tastes, but I won’t deny you’ve done a professional looking job of it.

I like it, I’m interested to see how it does long term but I’m a fan.

I quite like the look of a living wall to soften modern concrete and glass buildings but there is something incongruous about this next to these period properties.

Er. Plant a hedge. Better ecology and better for animals. Save your money folks…

Love it! How much was it for the wall and how much were the plants? How long did it take you?

Looks fab. I’m interested in the long term maintenance aspect of this – want to get rid of some unruly climbers on our gable wall – would this thing work instead and be less maintenance? I can’t keep going up ladders with my record for accidents 🤣

Is it hard to water?

Looks much better than a brick wall/ fence and considering you can’t have a hedge it’s a nice alternative

Had great success with one of these in my London courtyard garden… for a couple of years. Mostly heucheras, ferns, grasses and a spattering of others. Was a nice urban collector project.
Sadly once Vine Weevil got in, it was impossible to eradicate as you couldnt reach each soil pocket to treat. And plants fast outgrew then died off. And it was a snail/slug haven. So all in all a 50/50 pro/con exercise.
Luckily have moved out now so its the new owners problem 😄

Looks nice now But Spiders will fill that full of webs by next spring!
Can we see one 5 years later?
A fantastic idea, and shock, just liks any garden feature, requires maintenance. Some people just love to moan!
Prax panels!
