The problem

Your clients want plants, but they have no floor space left

A small patio, a courtyard, a lobby, a shop front. The client asks for greenery and there is nowhere to put it. So you suggest two planters and a hanging basket, and the job ends there.

A living wall turns a blank wall into a garden, and very few landscapers know how to sell one.

What goes wrong

Felt-pocket and soil walls turn yellow within two seasons

Many have tried: felt pockets, soil-filled modules, kits from the store. Roots rot or dry out, the watering goes off balance, the leaves turn yellow. The client calls back, and it is your name on the job.

The problem is rarely the plants. It is the technique and the water management.

Free videos show the install. They never show the pH, the electrical conductivity or the maintenance contract that keep a wall alive for years.

The method

Bare-root hydroponics, the professional standard

No soil, no felt holding water against the roots. Plants go in with bare roots and are fed by a water solution you control, with automated irrigation built into the wall. That gives you 25 to 35 plants per m², about 2 to 3 per square foot, for a dense, living wall.

Once you can read pH and EC, you know why a wall is healthy, and what to fix when it is not.

The program

Every step from the first site visit to the maintenance visit

• Structure and waterproofing: frame, rot-proof panel, membrane, felt.
• Hydraulics: pump sizing, distribution bar, closed water loop.
• Light: reading a room before choosing a single plant.
• Plant selection: species that thrive together on a wall.
• Design and client contracts: from site survey to quote.
• EC, pH and nutrients: measure, correct, prevent.
• Plant diseases: spot them and treat them before the client does.
• Pruning and replanting: keep the wall dense year after year.

Every module comes with downloadable materials, and you can ask your questions by email.

For your business

A new service to sell, with income that comes back every year

A living wall is sold once at installation, then again every year as a maintenance contract. You free up floor space for your clients and stand out from every other landscaper in town.

Every wall you install can become a maintenance contract that renews each year.

Questions

Your questions before you enroll

I have never done hydroponics. Will I keep up?

Yes. The course starts from zero: the principle first, then the equipment, then the settings. Every idea is explained before you use it.

How much time does it take?

You go at your own pace and your access never ends. Many students take one module a week, between jobs.

The course comes from France. Does it apply where I work?

The technique works everywhere: structure, water circuit, pH and EC are the same in any country. Plant choice depends on your climate and the room's light, and the course teaches you how to choose.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes: 5 payments of €138.

Will I be able to install a wall on my own?

The modules give you the complete method, from design to maintenance. Start with a small wall at home or for a client you know well.

Is VAT added?

Only for buyers inside the European Union. The exact total for your country appears before you pay.
