There are many different types of living wall systems on the market today, but nothing compares to the versatile, eco-friendly design of Cortiça Garden’s carbonized cork. Sourced from the bark of the cork oak tree, our living wall systems are relatively easy to care for over time.

For one, the replacement of both the boards and plants is simple. Our specially designed pots make it easy to switch out both plants and/or pots when need. As for the boards, damaged panels can be replaced individually per board and per plant hole.

Second, if you want to make maintenance even easier, you have the option to install an automatic watering system. Automatic systems can be customized to the condition of each site making it not only easy to maintain the optimal environment for plants but to make sure they’re consistently hydrated, too.
