Floating Gardens

FLOATING GARDENS

We specialise in creating floating gardens that are placed directly onto a built surface. The advantage of a floating garden is that they can be made modular and easily moved or the creation of bespoke shaped garden perimeters for more permanent fixtures. They also have the added advantages of;

Environmental Benefits: Floating gardens can help to mitigate the urban heat island effect by absorbing heat and releasing oxygen. They can also help to reduce stormwater runoff, improve air quality, and provide habitat for birds and insects.
Improved Aesthetics: A floating garden can transform an unused, unattractive space into a beautiful and inviting green oasis.
Community Building: Floating gardens can bring people together, fostering a sense of community and providing opportunities for social interaction and recreation.

The secret to their success is the our Turf and Garden trays.

Made from a plastic tray containing a water reservoir and wicking system. Trays are bordered with wood, folded sheet metal or other material to suit décor. They can be permanently placed, such as a roof top or urban garden or easily moved and reconfigured.

The inbuilt reservoir captures rainwater or is filled via an innovative internal watering system. This removes the need for watering via sprinklers, saving water and eliminating usage downtime.

The trays have high drainage rate so grass is usable after heavy rain. The grass surface is smooth with joins between the trays barely visible. Worn areas can be quickly fixed by replacing individual trays. Ideal for high traffic areas. Mounding and topography can be built into the gardens and both turf and plants grow successfully. We have also planted native and remnant native vegetation that has successfully taken in the garden trays and tree planters.

They are designed to allow free flow of stormwater when placed on road surfaces or other high drainage surfaces.

The trays enables plants to thrive in hot and dry locations. If you need ready to create a floating lawn or garden in any environment our Turf and Garden trays is the answer. Download Plantabox Turf Brochure
