Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014145549A1] Disclosed are apparatuses that can be used to create and maintain vertical garden on a non-horizontal surface. Advantageously, the apparatuses are modular allowing for adaptation of the dimension of the vertical garden to any space or personal inclination. At its most basic, the apparatus of the invention include a bracket to which one or more planter assemblies can be attached and, in some embodiments, a conduit connector, which fluidly connects the reservoirs of each of the planter assemblies. More specifically, the invention includes an apparatus that itself includes a bracket comprising a frame and at least one mounting fitting; a planter and a reservoir. The planter has a planter cavity defined by a proximal wall and a distal wall and at least one mounting fitting connected to an outer face of the proximal wall thereof. The cavity of the planter communicates with the exterior of the planter by a first opening disposed between the proximal and distal wall of the planter. The planter also includes a planter wick opening.
