Tapestries “The
Fence That Grows” is for you!
Living
Tapestries, “The
Fence That Grows” is a unique concept in vertical gardening and flower beds.
The 30 kits come complete with planting medium and an interconnecting
internal watering system in a variety of sizes for small balconies for condos,
privacy back-drops around patios, pools and spas, sound barriers.
Living Tapestries can be hooked up to an existing sprinkler system ,
or just hooked up to a hose. Using
specially designed water catch trays and re-circulating pumps the indoor models
are great for tropical and house plants. “All
the plants and vegetables on our suggested plant list have been fully tested in
our R & D facility in Colorado and grow extremely well” says Mark Humble,
the inventor of Living Tapestries.

Mr.
Humble came up with the idea for Living
Tapestries in 1987 for a friend who loved gardening but was confined to
a wheelchair. “The wheels and
footrests were really hard to work around,” said Mr. Humble, “so I tried to
come up with a way that she could sit in her chair and plant at chest level.
Just move the chair up to it like you would the edge of a desk.”
Mark went on to say, “The original design was only a single panel made
out of redwood and didn’t have the irrigation system.”
It took 10 years of testing a variety of designs, planting mediums and
irrigation systems to finally come up with a combination for a viable fencing
system that would actually grow healthy, sturdy plants while being water
conscious. I wanted to develop a way to grow a large number of plants without
using a lot of water. Our “Fence That Grows” offer water savings.
Each 44” x 22” panel has planting spaces for 76 to 92 plants if you
plant both sides, and only needs 1/2 gallon of water per day per panel”

Tapestries is now built using white vinyl plastic for a very rich, elegant look. It is UV protected so it won’t fade in the sun and reflects heat.
“The Fence
That Grows” acts as a natural swamp cooler in the summer because of
the moisture retained in the planting medium.
