With the popularity of vertical gardens on Ch9 The Block and Ch7 House Rules we thought it was only fitting showcase a fantastic local product by Rolf Meumann of Synapse Design.

The wall of the vertical garden is constructed from poured concrete which has been sealed with bitumen. Troughs are made up in stainless steel at the top and bottom, with a secondary run-off trough leading to a water storage tank and pump stored below the adjacent decking. There is a series of vertical, stainless steel cut-outs fixed to the front of the wall, into which the plastic bar is “hooked” and secured at the desired angle.

Soil has then been applied to the wall and is captured by the angled slats. Bent over the edge of the top trough is a series of membranes, which gently transport water constantly from the top trough to the top of the garden wall. After this, the water naturally trickles down through the soil. 

Perfect for limited spaces. For further information and pricing visit synapsecollection.com.au

Monkey Grip by Adam Cornish was designed with space conscious living in mind. With more and more people living in town houses and apartments due to proximity to cities and work, housing is becoming smaller and more compact. Monkey Grip is a system of linking pots which utilise space not currently available to common house pots. 

The pots are designed to hang from typical structures found within in the home, such as beams, rafters, handrails and standard plant hanging hooks. Each pot then joins to the other to form a chain of potted plants, creating a beautiful column of foliage and minimising clutter on the floor. 

The pot’s unique shape not only enables the plants to be linked together to form a chain,  but also houses a water reservoir in the bottom with a simple wick system that allows water overflow to be saved and wicked back to the roots of the plant;  minimising water consumption in today’s water conscious society. 

The pot’s unique joining system pays homage to the children’s game, ‘barrel of monkeys’ and are designed to be used with standard plants to ad beauty, or to grow herbs and edible plants.
