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
