GREENING UP THE WORLD
ONE WALL AT A TIME.
Hi there,
Our story starts in London where are many attractive brick walls, and many plastic bags looking to be repurposed.
How did this come together? Can we cover walls with planters made from recycled plastic bags?
In cities like London, places are precious, but when we look around there are many vertical surfaces that are unused. Now, given climate change and the cost of living crisis it makes sense to think
out of the box and use these valuable vertical spaces.
The more plants we have around us the better for the environment and
human-friendly sustainable cities. They (absorb greenhouse gases, reduce temperature, and improve air quality.
We believe
vertical gardening
is for everybody.
So we have created Flexiplanter, a vertical planting system which is:
-
Simple to install – only basic DIY skills required
-
Modular – can be bought in various sizes so adaptable to all walls.
-
Affordable -: the 24 pocket version retail price is just £54.
-
Water-use efficient - a manual irrigation system is included in the price.
- Drill holes spaced to line up with the hanging tabs of the flexiplanter.
- Insert raw plugs
Screw the hooks into the raw plugs.
The planter can be installed following these steps:
-Use the velcro located at the bottom and the top of each planter to join to the next planter.
Each FlexiPlanter comes with all the necessary irrigation parts.
-Attach the irrigation pipes to the planter with
velcro rings.
Plant up the pockets with either ornamental or edible plants, bulbs, and seeds (pocket size P9 pot), like ordinary pots, then connect
your garden tap and enjoy your vertical garden. You can fill every pocket or leave some empty in order to allow
for the spread of smaller plants.
It is easy to install using basic tools.
The material of the modules is made of recycled plastic.
-The back of the unit is waterproof, keeping your surface dry,
but your plants moist.
-The pockets are porous, allowing air and water to flow to the roots, ensuring healthy plants.
The pack contains all the elements of the irrigation system,
apart from the (user-friendly and precise) timer,
which can be purchased separately.
Our test wall runs for 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes in the late afternoon.
Simplicity and variability make this planter user-friendly.
Accessible Irrigation is designed to enable living wall maintenance to be swift and efficient, irrigation is integrated but easily accessible for maintenance.
-Two-pocket version.
GreenFlow
offers a user-friendly vertical planter system called FlexiPlanter.
The 16mm main pipe is fixed with velcro rings in front of the vertical planter, 1 emitter for each column with adjustable sprinklers to make sure the plants get the necessary amount of water.
Extra water goes to the lower pocket and then leaves the planter to make sure the roots do not stay in the water.
The benefit of this kind of vertical planter system
the format and the assemblage of the planter(s) provide an easy set-up and maintenance for the users.
The Flexiplanter is a modular system, so you can create your bespoke green wall.
-Panel sizes: our system is available in 11 sizes.

Why use Flexi planter for living walls?
It's Lightweight This is the light living wall system at only 12kg per 24 pockets unit fully planted and saturated, it makes extremely adaptable to all surface applications, 4 hooks, each hook can hold 60 Kg in a brick wall. It is straightforward and quick to install. This system is designed for quick and efficient installation for large-scale commercial projects or smaller residential projects, with minimum disruption.
Our vision was to design the most user-friendly vertical planter for everybody from recycled plastic to have no excuse to cover unused vertical surfaces to create more living walls and enjoy the green flow.
Engineered for optimum plant health. The structure of microfibre fabric promotes a strong healthy plant by oxygenating the root system.
Where can you install Flexi planter Living Walls? Anywhere!
This design-friendly system is suitable for, exterior, curved, angled, suspended, columnar structures, free-standing structures and everything in-between to any scale. With the hooks system, you can cover surfaces where you can attach. Just couple examples of the many possibilities are brick walls with hooks, wood fences with hooks, metal fences with ziplock, and metal containers with
magnetic hooks.
It allows you to create unique designs that bring your visions to a green reality.
Reusable
and made from
100% recycled plastic
The material of the modules is made of recycled plastic, supported by smart technology. (The planters’ history can be uploaded to a blockchain from the beginning to create a unique ID for each planter.).
The Source of waste for base material can be traced back to the location of the collection.
-Scan trust secure QR code created and appears on each product for ID scan.
We would like to give extended product responsibility to our products.
We would like to show transparently where the plastic is collected for our product where is made and how is delivered to show a more accurate carbon footprint of the product. So this reason we would like to create a modular factory based on 2 shipping containers, to manufacture products for the UK in the UK and for the EU in Spain.
We would like to ask for your help to create a project team to bring this product to life.
Our living wall comes with a 3-year manufacturing warranty for peace of mind.
For whales with a big THANK YOU.

Packaging Improvements and Shipping Plans

Dear Backers,
We are excited to share that we have received the new labels, which allow us to further improve our packaging and presentation. This is another important step forward as we prepare for fulfillment.
However, we’ve also been thinking about ways to optimize our shipping process, especially for international orders. One idea we’re considering is trimming down the packaging box for overseas shipments, which could help reduce costs and make deliveries more efficient.
As some of you may know, we have relocated our operations to Hungary. Interestingly, sending a package within Hungary now costs us about the same as shipping from the UK to other European countries. This is something we are factoring into our plans to ensure that shipping remains manageable for both us and our backers.
Thank you for your ongoing support and patience as we work hard to deliver the FlexiPlanter to you. We are committed to finding the best solutions to make this project a success.
Warm regards,
Krisztián Győry
