The DNA behind it all - stacked octahedrons, held together in tensegrity
My first 3D SketchUp model, where I worked out the kinks. The fancy digs came later, for the Kickstarter Video: "You can hang it in a New York penthouse... or off a porch in the burbs."
The first prototype taking shape in the workshop
The first planter boxes
The load test. 200lb and counting
The secret: it's just knots holding it all together
The friction/keyhole joint, another view

The first client installation
The first installation becomes a garden

Bursting at the seams with 15 plant varieties. A few salads very much enjoyed

The Vertecology Hanging Garden
The Vertecology Hanging Garden is a structure for the urban gardener. It’s great for veggies, starts, herbs, vines, succulents, microgreens or all of the above. You can hang it from anything able to support its weight, indoors or out. It takes minutes to install and minutes to break down. Its elegant geometry makes it not only a stunning conversation piece, but also incredibly strong, wind-resistant (up to 50 mph) and buildable with little more than knotted rope.
