IT'S A FRAME UP!

RISE TO THE OCCASION AND TURN A BARE ENTRY WALL INTO A GALLERY OF GREENERY
IT'S A FRAME UP!

So you want to make an entrance? Zhooshing up an exterior wall by hanging plants and putting them in the frame creates a living gallery. It will give colour and depth to a dull dark corner and, suddenly, the bare wall that remains will have its texture turned into a feature. It can be an entrance that draws you inside – and one that also makes you want to linger longer.

EASY STEPS TO MAKING A MINI GREEN WALL

Gather your supplies

• Holman vertical garden kit

• 187 x 18mm primed treated pine

• 65 x 19mm x 2.4m Colonial Tasmanian oak architrave

• Selection of small ferns and succulents

You’ll also need

Saw; black and white exterior paint; paint roller; exterior PVA glue; drill; galvanised 50mm screws; galvanised 30 and 15mm button head screws; tenon saw; mitre box; 1.5mm drill bit; galvanised 40mm nails; hammer; corner brace brackets; paintbrush; combination square

For you to note

Holman kits come with a backing board, integrated watering system, 8 clip-on pots, adjustable drippers, drip tray, hanging screws, plugs and plates and other accessories.

Here’s how

STEP 1 Using a roller, paint lengths of pine with 2 coats of black exterior paint. Leave to dry between coats.

STEP 2 Cut timber lengths to make 2 sides, a top and base for a box that will fit around garden kit. Paint cut ends to seal. Butt sides into top and base. Glue, predrill and screw together using 50mm screws.

STEP 3 Sit box around kit backing board. Predrill through box into board. Screw together with 30mm button head screws.
