The ultimate closet experience
you've been waiting for...
The green walls are mostly modular potted systems
— though in one option, plants grow directly into
a felt or fabric structure — and all involve soil-
less growing media, with irrigation occurring via
wicking or timed drip. The same is true of the walls'
more customizable counterparts, which include
freestanding cabinets and room dividers and "live
frames" of vertical foliage art — all lower-cost
options that are quicker to install and require less
maintenance.
Even easier to look after are the preserved moss
installations, which require no watering at all —
though they may lose a bit of their lustre in January
and February.
"We tell people to leave it alone, that it is a piece
of art, so just don't touch it during those months …
come spring, when the air conditioning comes back
on and the heat isn't on so much, it'll spring right
back to its original state."
Having won the award for Best Small Space at this
year's Winnipeg Home & Garden Show, Bouchier is
already planning her next display at the Winnipeg
Renovation Show in early January.
Until then, she'll be busy with new-client
consultations and scheduled maintenance calls
— all the while spreading the word to home and
business owners that green is good.
"A lot of these products are seen as a luxury item,"
she says. "But I find there's a bit of a necessity in
there, as well."
