The living walls are an
incredible decorative
touch but if you are
looking for something
more practical, and
are culinarily inclined,
EcoWalls also installs
Chef's EcoWall
Gardens. These are
horizontal planters
mounted on the wall
like shelves with
integrated lighting and
a water recirculating
system. This system
is more efficient than
the vertical walls for
growing produce such
as compact herbs,
and root vegetables
that require more
light. It's also more
user friendly. "This
is something where
you can literally start
a seed from scratch as
a homeowner, watch
it grow into a mature
plant, harvest it when
you're ready, and start
a new plant right in
the system again,"
explained Coraggio.
