The invention herein discloses a traffic barrier having a wall portion and a base, said wall portion configured to attach an interchangeable framework, which has thereon a cover containing at least one of an artificial that is synthetic representation of a living organism, or a live plant of the kind exemplified by flowers, trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses, to improve the aesthetic appeal of the barrier, at least one utilitarian object to further the visibility of the barrier to oncoming traffic, and at least one object to improve the preservation of the barrier.

An automated outdoor modular vertical plant cultivation system forming a vertical structure is provided. The system includes a plurality of shelves, each shelf having a web and flanges; two posts, each post having a web and flanges. Each shelf of the plurality of shelves is mounted between the two posts with incremental spacing between each adjacent shelf along a vertical length of the two posts. The web of each shelf includes a plurality of openings for retaining planter vessels. The flanges of each shelf retain an embedded structural member. The system includes a fluid circulatory system including shelf irrigation piping extending longitudinally above the web of each shelf; and power or power and data and fluid members for the system distributed from vertical risers located in proximity to the web of the posts, wherein the flanges of the shelves have provisions to retain the fluid circulatory system.

An irrigation system for vertical planting systems has at least one water storage container arranged vertically above the vegetation body, and at least one capillary-active water conductor arranged therein, which protrudes from the water storage container and protrudes into the vegetation body.

A vertical cultivation system for growing plants. The vertical cultivation system includes one or more plant holders for holding the plant, a support wall including one or more support openings arranged to support the plant, the support wall extends transverse relative to the surface of the ground, and an irrigation arrangement arranged to provide the root part of the plants with growing liquid. The invention further relates to a method for growing of plants having an aerial part and a root part in a vertical cultivation system.

A plant plug holding unit is provided, the plant plug holding unit including at least one plant plug holder. The plant plug holding unit, which is configured to be inserted into a cut-out in a hydroponic tower face plate, includes an edge member that encircles the unit and is sealed to the rear surface of the front tower face. Each individual plant plug holder of the plant plug holding unit includes (i) a base member configured to support a plant plug and which extends rearward from the edge member and into the hydroponic tower cavity; (ii) a top shroud member that inhibits leakage as well as plug erosion; (iii) a pair of side members that maintain the position of the plant plug within the plug holder; and (iv) a plurality of open regions configured to promote water drainage from the plant plug.

A flower pot support assembly includes a rectangular panel defining a few windows. The support is engaged and retained into a corresponding panel window via lateral flange grooves. An arcuate seat is made integral to the panel window periphery and abuttingly cooperates with a corresponding flower pot support and associated window edge sloping ramps for flower pot support sliding and tilting engagement within the panel window, all in such a way as to releasably lock the flower pot support in nesting condition inside the panel window with the support member mouth facing upwardly.

A pocket structure for receiving containerized plants is sloped and hung from a wire of a wire basket. The pocket structure includes hooks, an irrigation fitting and corresponding drip channel to transmit water toward the rear of the pocket, and slots in the walls. The mesh units include braces and are sized for shipping. An earth wall is formed of the mesh units and pockets, and includes irrigation tubing. The components may be formed into a palletized kit.

Plant container assemblies with nested growth substrates are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a plant container assembly includes a base; an inner frame on the base; and an outer frame having a plurality of grid panels projecting from the base, surrounding the inner frame, and defining a plurality of slot regions between the inner frame and the grid panels. Growth substrates are inserted into the slot regions, and each of the growth substrates has a first side that is exposed through one of the grid panels for planting, and a second side that holds soil within a corresponding one of the slot regions.

The present disclosure generally relates to plant-based air purification systems and more particularly to wall mounted systems for removing impurities from indoor air using plants.

A system and method for cultivating plants is described. The system may include a tower structure having a vertical series of vessels for holding a netted pot or other container. The system may have a pressurized irrigation system that is in fluid communication with each vessel. The system may further include lamps to provide an adequate light source. The system may also include sensors, monitors and controls to establish and maintain environmental conditions suitable for proper plant growth. The system may further be implemented as a scalable system in which multiple tower structures may be installed into a scaffold system. Sets of towers may be slidably affixed to a scaffold such that the towers may be slid along a track thereby creating easy access to the plants, vessels, lights and the irrigation system. The system may be expanded to include multiple scaffolds affixed to a skeletal frame or compartment interior.
