Love our new Living Wall in our Café? You can create one at home!
Living walls are absolutely stunning and achievable in your home and/or garden. Yes really!
They are brilliant for those who are short on space, or if you just want to create a stunning feature.
But more than that, there are some really fantastic benefits to introducing a green wall to your living area. If located outside they add a layer of insulation and offer habitats for insects. Inside, they improve the air quality and add an interior spectacle like no other. Either way they are a fantastic addition to your living space.
What’s more they are so versatile! You could choose to grow directly from seed or plant your own, of which could be climbers, wall shrubs, grasses, herbs or patio plants. Our beautiful living wall is the focal point of our refurbished café, which is home to a number of houseplants that are easy to care for. See below for the full list.
