Green Council Vertical Growing Systems for Communities
Green Council has developed a range of vertical growing systems - the Acqua Garden: an innovative, fully automated, highly productive vertical growing system designed for modern living
A fusion of elegance and functionality, enabling anyone, anywhere to grow an abundance of nutritious produce wherever they live. Plants grow quickly, cleanly and effortlessly.
​
The Acqua Garden is ideal for communities, with many sustainability benefits such as its ultra low water usage and powered by solar energy. Green Council provides a set of Acqua Gardens with every project it undertakes for Town, Parish and Community Councils
Fully Automated - Self Watering - Solar Powered
How It Works
Growing Made Easy
System Components
Natural Nutrients
The Acqua Garden is particularly ideal for urban locations. Fully automated, self-watering and with 24 separate growing points, you can grow vegetables, herbs, micro-greens, peppers and salads of your choice.
The system includes a reservoir for nutrient-enriched water, a pump, timer, solar panel and rechargeable battery, and a series of growing pods stacked vertically in a tower configuration.
The reservoir at the bottom of the system is filled with nutrient-enriched water which is automatically circulated around the system at set intervals, to ensure the plants always have all the water and goodness they need.
Coconut Coir
Plants are grown in coconut coir, a clean, natural and sustainable growing medium which has exceptional water retention properties. As the plants are contained in a neutral medium, many of the issues associated with soil growing – such as pests and diseases are avoided.
Effortless Growing
Aside from a few minor tasks, such as checking water level, the Acqua garden will take care of itself. And as your plants have all the water and minerals they need at all times, in a matter of weeks, you’ll be enjoying abundant homegrown produce, harvested at its peak.
