The steep incline of the site lent itself to a vertical garden, and ANS Global was approached to install a living wall that brought colour and interest to the memorable garden. The living wall complimented the unique architectural design, scale and breathtaking setting of the house. It also included a 90 degree bend in the wall combining a horizontal and vertical garden. The plants used.

Easy to install and maintain, the grid and tile system optimises a spaces potential, creating both decorative and functional possibilities. Movable and portable, one can insert tiles and pots in minimal time. Introduction Vertical Garden 5 — 6. Introduction.
