PlantBox Living Wall System
PlantBox is a cleverly simple vertical garden system making it easy to breathe life into bare walls inside or out. Choose from our sets of 3, 5, 10.
PlantBox is an award-winning stackable system designed to make creating vertical gardens easy. This innovative watering system eliminates the need for daily watering and keeps plants thriving.
Blending clever patented design with immediate visual impact, PlantBox is a revolutionary stackable, modular living wall system. It can instantly transform residential courtyards, balconies, and boundary walls, as well as be applied to commercial projects including schools, offices, roof gardens and construction hoardings to give just a few examples.
PlantBox is easy to install, with each trough easily clicking and stacking together vertically, and clipping together horizontally to fit any space. It can be installed up to 8 metres in height and is designed to be ground bearing, only requiring restraint fixings (fixings not supplied).
The in-built 1.8L water reservoir and capillary felt enable plants to take up the water they need to thrive, with topping up only required on a weekly or monthly basis which can be done by the client or as part of an ongoing maintenance programme. Simply water from the top, and it is almost impossible to over-water.
