by Brianna Crandall — January 9, 2015—Plant Connection, Inc., the exclusive global grower and U.S. distributor for G-O2 Living Wall Systems, recently announced the notable achievement that the company’s G-O2 Living Wall System is now patented in both the United States and Canada, after four years of vigorous work. Plant Connection says its leading-edge technology, engineered for plant performance and sustainability, will help further advance the success of living architecture and the greater green wall industry as a whole.
Plant Connection notes that indoor and outdoor green walls have a variety of benefits, including better indoor air quality or pollution reduction outside, soundproofing, cooling and insulation, reducing employee absenteeism and boosting morale and focus, speeding patient recovery time, and qualifying for LEED certification points from USGBC.
As a full-service green wall company with a thorough horticultural background, Plant Connection consults with clients on plant choices for their specific location. The company says its G-O2 Living Walls in particular are successful because:
- All plant material is specially customized for each project
- A built-in pressure compensating irrigation system and state-of-the-art remote monitoring system ensures the viability of custom plant selections
- All products come pre-grown by Plant Connection, which means mature and healthy product is ready for installation
- Complete horticultural support is offered from design concept to installation and maintenance with trained horticultural professionals and design specialists
Based in Riverhead, NY, Plant Connection’s experienced team of growers, designers, manufacturers, installers and maintenance companies can help incorporate a successful green wall or roof into building structures. The company has reportedly designed, manufactured, and grown over 16,000 square feet of G-O2 Living Walls in North America, ranging from corporate offices and hospitals to schools, restaurants and even treehouses. With innovative designs and full horticultural support all the way through, Plant Connection says its living wall and green roof systems are guaranteed to survive and thrive.
