Hand Crafted Living Walls by Kieselbach Woodworks Hawaii
Dear Plants On Walls, Hope you have been doing well. I wanted to catch you up with the happenings with your fabulous product. Last month was kind of a ‘launch’ of the 8-pocket system in an African mahogany frame.
The first one we donated to St. Clement’s School for their ‘live’ auction item at the annual fundraising dinner (they painted and made their frame more custom, as pictured). It was fun to attend the event and watch the parents bid on this ‘priceless’ item as they term it.
The system we have set up in our office is fully edible and provides greens for 2-3 people every 4-5 days.
The photo with the two children is the special planter installed at their house.
The final set of photos is a rooftop patio here in Kaka’ako. It definitely adds to the outdoor bbq/patio area in the urban core of Honolulu.
The wood systems are catching on slowly and we have sold a few last month for the start. They are made of African mahogany and have a liquid rubber waterproofing liner. The rod holding the pocket insert has a thumb scroll to easily remove for cleaning or anything you may need. So with the whole kit inserted and extra water proofing, we are seeing interest by luxury condominium dwellers.
Thank you again for working with us!
Best Regards,
Nicholas Haigler

Elegant and Simple Vertical Garden
A Florafelt Compact Vertical Garden Kit was used to create a stylish vertical garden for a home in the Culver City area of Los Angeles. Designer Tucker Warner mounted the vertical garden kit on a shelf so it appears that the plants are floating. The draping leaves hide the tank, digital timer and cord. It's an elegant and very simple way to add plants to interior design.
"We absolutely love our Florafelt Compact Vertical Garden Kit system! It brings so much life and beauty to our dining room in Los Angeles. It is so easy to care for as we usually kill our plants. Thank you Florafelt!"

Kingwood Center Gardens Greenhouse Expands Bromeliad Collection Vertically
The famous Kingwood Center Gardens in Mansfield, Ohio received an enormous donation of bromeliads from botanist Jerry Raack. With no room to spare and eager to spruce up the plain wall of a heavily-visited attraction, they decided to grow vertically. Greenhouse manager Doug Schuster asked production coordinator Laura Mast to find the best system. Laura researched online and discovered Florafelt vertical gardens.
The Florafelt vertical garden planters hang from horizontal metal supports using s-hooks. The plants were wrapped and arranged into a beautiful display that boasts seasonal color.
Bromeliads are epiphytes that require minimal roots and naturally grow in trees. Watering twice a week with a hand sprayer keeps them happy and thriving.
Doug and Laura are not the only ones delighted with the results - the plant wall is a huge hit with visitors.

A Tropical Reception
Nathan Brown of The Turf Jockeys in Eaton Rapids, Michigan used Florafelt Vertical Garden Planters to build a beautiful living wall for his clients reception area.
"The pocket style design allows for quick installation as well as replacement should one want to change out different plants."
Ian Nunez, a foreman at Turf Jockeys shows the ease and efficiency of the Florafelt system which lets his creativity soar. He shows us how he uses wood spacers mounted to the wall to create an air gap that keeps the building's structure dry. Rigid plywood is added as a support structure. He then applies a layer of rubber pond liner that keeps water in the plant wall. Rubber flexes to waterproof around the deck screw attachments.
Nathan explains, "The Florafelt system is easy enough to use that my 11 and 14 year old could wrap plants and install them. Even my kids wanted to help! They kept singing that jingle, "Hot pocket", only it was "plant pocket"
"The three walls we have installed this far are doing very well."
"The 5 sided wall at Lakeside Fire and Grill in Mason has 10 of the Nuvo metal halides shining on it. The track lighting system was a real treat though! The wall really looks awesome with the full spectrum grow lights on."
"Florafelt has changed the way we inspire spaces vertically. Florafelt is extremely user friendly, adapts to almost every build out situations and most of all it's simple. Everyone at Florafelt is very helpful and passionate about what they do and what we as designers are creating."

Florafelt Root Wrapped plants are added to the pockets to quickly create a custom design.
Nathan also created an exciting and dynamic 264 plant wall install at Lakeside Fire and Grill.
Because water flows through the Florafelt supportive growing medium roots are just happier. Air also moves into the system which creates an ecosystem that plants can thrive in. This also means it's crucial to provide a gutter at the base of the wall to drain water away.
"We even began to switch out some plants in our first installation because they saw other plants installed in the other walls with different colors. It was very easily to accommodate their request due to your pocket system. The root wrappers are the way to go."
"Florafelt will definitely help to inspire people in Michigan. You can call me a Florafelt Fanatic!"
"I really enjoy working with your product! Great invention Chris!"
