Living Wall

This living wall was designed and built by Jeri Rutherford. This addition lowed the home's power comsumption by up to 20%, due the natural heating and cooling of the vertical garden and living carpet.This home is located in Idaho and a touch of the tropics has been brought into the home for year round enjoyment. Not only does the wall save power and energy consumption, but it humidifies the home as well as cleaning the air of pollutants and odors. For more information regarding this design please contact Jeri Rutherford at jeri@dream2sea.com.

i would cover my entire room with plants growing vertically on the wall and upside down on the ceiling, and possibly on the floor like shown in this video, if that is even real on the floor.

I could not help but notice that there is a mat, on both sides of that door, presumably for wiping off your feet. Why? So you don't track dirt OUT of the house? Seriously though, I love this and I wish it was a legal requirement in new homes.

@ToolsnFire I agree with you in that it is good. The most relevant factor is that she has an amazing and rare product and she is putting herself out on the internet to sell her work. She can always hire someone to present for her if it becomes necessary for her to market and promote her business further.

@loveme2knowme, naw, it's good, she just needs to be more natural in her speaking and presentation. A little too plastic/stilted/stiff, though pleasant and nice,... but...needs more flow passion

Many people has asked me about the irrigation. This house is located in a high mountain desert. Typical outside humity is about 30%. Really dry. The irrigation system is built into the wall. It is one of the more complicated pieces of this wall and took a good deal of thought and work to make this happen well. Now it runs automatically.
