minigarden™ solutions for professional vertical gardens and urban installations feb 2012

Minigarden™ is a modular system that allows the growing of ornamental,

aromatic and vegetable plants.

The Minigarden™ is freestanding, self-draining and can be installed inside or

outside.

The Minigarden™’s modularity permits to design and install vertical gardens

very easily, leaving full room for your creativity.

Each module of the Minigarden™ system comprises only 4 easily mounted

parts: a lid, a circular clip, a recipient with 3 cavities and a base tray.

The assembly is very simple and the possibilities are limitless. Its modular

features permit to stack it both vertically and horizontally, in a single row or back-

to-back, creating countless combinations.

The Minigarden™ can be very easily installed inside or outside, embedded in or

attached to walls or gables.

The combination possibilities are only limited by your imagination, considering

that, besides its modular forms, you can also play with the plants varieties and

colors to create unique effects, with the benefit of being able to easily replace

the plants after installing the Minigarden.

The Minigarden™ is made of high resistance polypropylene copolymer and

includes additives for protection against ultraviolet rays, which allows it to be

used in extreme weather conditions (solar radiation and temperature), having a

ten-year guarantee for its integrity. It is also reusable, fully recyclable and

available in 5 colors:

For large scale settings we developed an unique watering system for the

Minigarden™, consisting of a micro tube (Ø 4.6mm) with integrated drip feeders

or a porous micro tube (Ø 9mm), both hidden inside the module, a pressure

reducing filter and a collecting tube (Ø 13mm) that feeds the micro tube through

T-branches. Additionally, it’s possible to install a liquid fertilizer dosing device to

convert the system to ferti-watering or semi-hydroponic, as well as a system

programmer.

The Minigarden™ was designed with an innovative gravitational drainage

mechanism. This feature ensures that all excess irrigation water at the plants

roots will be drained to the tray at the unit base. This system is very important

the ensure the planting sustainability in the long run.

At the bottom of each module there are small grills (2 per cavity), through which the excess water runs to the tray directly below the corresponding module and, after that, to the tray at the assembly base

The Minigarden™ has inspired countless architects who have created unique

projects in such places as Hong Kong, Spain, Dubai, Netherlands, Portugal, etc.

Its unique features are the best solution to create vertical landscaped spaces in

any size, with a guarantee of easy installation and maintenance and at an

extremely competitive cost compared to other systems.

The only limit for the Minigarden™ potential is your creativity, because, although
