Five Small Reasons Why You Should Have An Artificial Vertical

by Georgina Oxley on Mar 23, 2018

Vertical gardens are not only spectacularly beautiful, but they are also helpful in enlivening the ambiance in any space. You may be wondering, why trust us? Well we are the leaders in the industry and have come up with five reasons as to why you should have an artificial vertical garden. They are typically made from plastic; these new vertical garden designs arise to keep ‘non-green thumbs’ happy. 1. The first benefit of having an artificial garden is that you do not have to water your plants, nor worry about giving them too much care, or worry about your beloved plants from wilting. They are extremely low maintenance in the sense you do not need to worry about fertilisers, or the unwanted insects and snails. As the plants are artificial they do not grow, so there is no concern that they will overgrow. 2. Another benefit is that your artificial gardens are designed to last, which also means that you can admire your plants all year round. They are sometimes deemed as better than the real thing in the sense they will always make the area aesthetically pleasing, and remain consistent in their appearance. 3. Having a vertical artificial garden also means that you can maximise the space, or create a garden where you did not think it was possible, for example in an urban area with limited garden space. This is why you should consider them, because each design can be easily adjusted to fit in any space. At Designer Vertical Gardens, we supply the highest quality artificial gardens, hedge panels, green walls and fake ivy. If you order an artificial hedge, for instance, you can cut to the shape or size of your space with ease, there are also hooks and edges that can be used to fix your artificial green wall. 4. An artificial vertical garden will enhance the visual appeal, to any room, or outdoor space. They will improve the beauty of your garden by adding character, variety, structure, and colour. Some vertical structures like arbors, arches, pergolas, and gazebos will help to create the aesthetic of an outdoor garden room. A vertical garden structure will help bring a room to life, with your unique style and design. 5. Finally, artificial vertical gardens are easy to set up and they are durable. The only maintenance that is required is keeping them clean, you can easily clean them with a damp cloth if they do get dusty. They also provide a consistency of coverage that you cannot obtain with natural plants. They can be installed just about anywhere, they do not require UV lighting, so you do not need to worry about installing them in a place that receives too much or too little lighting.

The Modern You: Implementing Artificial Vertical Gardens

by Georgina Oxley on Mar 16, 2018

Home is where the heart is. A person's garden can tell a lot about their character and personality. Many people create their garden and avoid taking time to examine the details. This is why you need to be aware of these useful and simple gardening techniques. Artificial vertical gardens hold the best solution for a modern and elegant look. Many of these rules below only would apply to REAL vertical gardens, but with our artificial range, anything is possible to create The Modern You. Here are some tips to implement artificial vertical gardens. 1. Decide on a Temporary or Permanent Structure In the situation where you're living in a rental space, don't build for the long term. There's nothing more heartbreaking then putting a lot of time and effort into something and then having to give it up later. Light-weight materials and wheels will come in handy when mobility is a major determinant factor. If you live in a home where your stay is permanent it is preferred to spend more time and money on decorations and heavier objects. With artificial vertical gardens you have the best of both worlds, easy to move and install, so our products will work in any temporary or permanent home. 2. Acknowledge Shade and Sunlight BUT not for Artificial Plants NEVER forget that both shade and sunlight are very important for healthy growth of any plant. In most occasions, hooks are used for positioning plants in various places according to their species. It always pays dividends to do a little bit of research on each plant and put them in areas of the garden which conforms to their growing needs. But fear not, these rules don't apply to artificial plants, they can get as little or as much sunlight, shade, rain, hail or any other season mother nature wants to throw at it. 3. Dimensions of the Garden When it comes to gardening designs, the height and weight of the structures are crucial. Furthermore, the design of the garden must be capable of holding the plants. An extremely low lying garden can get damaged easily while an excessively higher one can present problems when it comes to caring for the plants. Keep them in a good balance and think things through when first installing your garden. 4. Select a Unique Theme Put your creative juices into action here. The theme of the garden needs to reflect your personal taste and preferences. On top of this, it must also complement the interior and exterior design of the home. 5. Designer Vertical Gardens Invasive Plants Designer Vertical Gardens collection can suit any indoor or outdoor area that needs more love and attention. NEED more privacy, add some artificial Ivy to your wall or fence. 6. Be Diverse Never put all your eggs in one basket, be diverse. A few examples, if your living in a temporary residence and need a more vibrant area, UV Stabilised Portable Hedges will add that extra flavour. Also have a bland boring wall? Create an atmosphere with a Artificial Vertical Garden Discs. The options are endless. Keep a good balance and this will ne the NEW modern you. Read This Vertical Garden Basics and What They Are NOT

The Top 5 Tips to Make Your Artificial Green Walls Look Realistic and Natural

by Georgina Oxley on Mar 01, 2018

There is no doubt that aesthetics play a major role in providing comfort and contentment at one’s home. Whether you are sitting in the living room of your house or are working in the office we all want a space that we enjoy. In this blog we want to share with you the top 5 tips to ensure that you have a natural green wall that looks realistic, to ensure you’ll love it for years to come. Often people will instinctively consider real plants and green walls. All of which require regular maintenance and care and as such it is getting hard for property owners to take care of their plants due to the considerable amount of time, money and effort required. This is where artificial green walls serve as a better option for those that want instant greenery without the work or cost. Beside the cost and upkeep involved in green walls, there is also the risk that damage will be caused to your wall or fence in the long-term due to weight, water, and soil leakage. Here are the top 5 tips to make your artificial walls look natural and real: Include the plants that are native to your particular region The first step is to incorporate right the plant types, styles and colors that are common in your area. So, identify the plants that are native to your region and include them in the artificial wall. You can mix the different shades of green to make the artificial plants and shrubs look realistic. Put the walls in the areas that are highly visible Let's be honest, when we invest into a green wall we want people to like it and talk about it. So, in order to let your artificial plants make a long-lasting impression on the minds of the viewers, you must ensure that when placing the walls in highly visible areas they suit the area and can be easily seen. For example, waiting rooms and lobbies are the best spots for artificial walls along with in front of a window splash back. These areas will not only get the attention from your guests but would also make them feel relaxed and comfortable. Don't be afraid to add a floral appeal Though you need to use the plants that are native to your area, you should should be little bit creative when choosing the colors and patterns you ultimately want. Try to use a pattern that is not so common. Whilst we would recommend keeping the majority of the green wall with natural colours, it is easy enough to blend bright colours (white grasses, red flowers or brown tinges throughout the vertical garden). Try covering the entire wall It may seem odd to you at first but the entire wall or column covered with artificial plants makes a decorative statement and makes it look realistic. You can also think about using these walls to frame something or highlight the particular indoor area. Ultimately, it depends on the availability of space and the other aesthetics that what will look better for that space. Ensure that the panels are stabilised with UV protection within the plastic Many artificial plants providers will suggest that their panels are UV suitable, however, often they have simply passed off normal plastic plants as being suitable outdoors or they have added the lowest possible amount of UV protection to the plastics in order to cut costs. At Designer Vertical Gardens we use a significant amount of UV protection within the plastic to ensure longevity. Even when the panels aren't outside, without the UV protection the leaves will start cracking in a few years. Before finalizing the design, color, pattern and the area for the installation of artificial green walls, you need to analyze your space thoroughly. Once you have a rough idea in your mind, you can realize your decorative vision by following the tips mentioned above - we are sure that even you will be impressed at the realistic looks of the artificial walls. We are always happy to provide advice and make suggestions if you wish - so please feel free to contact us.Read This How to Maintain a Green Wall or Vertical Garden
