Gill,
Perhaps you are aware that there is a vertical wall in Madrid.

Couldn't tell you about the species planted there, but it looked quite
wet and perhaps they are not really Mediterranean plants.

I and a couple of associates want to make a living wall/vertical
garden/mur vegetal that is appropriate to our local climate -
Mesditerranean, zone d'olivier, approx = USDA zone 7/8 Our plan is to
make a sample, experimental panel this autumn and, all being well, to
construct a large version next year. Most of the references I have
found so far use plants which aren't very "Med" in character - does
anyone have any experience of living walls in Med climates that they
would be prepared to share? Ideas for appropriate plants (I already
have some but would be interested in others)? All comments &
suggestions gratefully received.
