How to create a portable modular green wall

Want a lush green wall, but you rent?

You’re not alone.  Renting doesn’t mean you have to settle for blank walls and one sad plant in the corner.  You can build a portable, modular green wall that looks stunning and comes with you when you move.

You want lush, trailing vines and dreamy “I drink my coffee in a jungle” vibe?  Jack will help you achieve that vibe without losing your bond.

What is a portable green wall?

A portable green wall is a moveable plant display made using garden mesh, garden stake and hooks.  Instead of attaching plants permanently to the wall, everything hangs on a structure.  It’s renter friendly, modular and easy to rebuild in a new space.

If you’re renting, this setup is ideal because it’s:

  • Freestanding or minimally fixed
  • Modular (you can add or rearrange pieces)
  • Easy to disassemble
  • Customisable to your space

We’ve partnered with @sydneyplantguy to create this beautiful garden oasis.
