摘要

Disclosed is a containment unit for a living wall that includes a rear wall with two side walls, a top and a liquid collection trough at the bottom with several ribs extending down the front of the containment unit between the side walls, where the ribs are angled and arranged relative to each other to define vertically stacked openings between sequential ribs that forms horizontal growing surfaces when the containment unit is filled with loose plant growth medium.

主权项

1. A living wall containment unit for wall mounting in a substantially vertical orientation, the containment unit comprising:
a rear wall having upper and lower ends, first and second sides; a first side wall extending forward from said rear wall along said first side; a second side wall extending forward from said rear wall along said second side, wherein said rear wall and said first and second side walls define a longitudinal axis; and a plurality of ribs spaced forward of said rear wall and extending between said first and second side walls, wherein each rib includes a top edge and a bottom edge, wherein said plurality of ribs are sequentially arranged longitudinally between said first and second side walls, wherein said plurality of ribs are oriented at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis; and wherein said plurality of ribs define a plurality of openings located between said top edge and bottom edge of sequentially arranged ribs; wherein said rear wall, said plurality of ribs and said first and second side walls together define an interior space adapted to receive loose plant growth medium that substantially fills the interior space and wherein, when filled with loose plant growth medium and with the containment unit positioned in a substantially vertical orientation, the loose plant growth medium will form a plurality of substantially horizontal growing surfaces positioned to allow plant material to grow through the plurality of openings defined between sequential ribs.
