A Spotlight Review of the Flower Tower Wall Mounted Vertical Gardening System

Today we are taking an in depth look at the Wall Mounted Flower Tower vertical gardening kit.  The advantage of vertical gardening kits like the Flower Tower, is that they give gardeners everything needed to quickly and easily create a vertical garden.  The Flower Tower, for instance, is easily assembled without the use of any tools and it comes with everything needed to create a vertical gardening system. 

The Wall Mounted Flower Tower shares a lot in common with its cousin, the Free Standing Flower Tower, except for one very obvious distinction.  The Wall Mounted Flower Tower is designed for wall mounting, whereas the Free Standing Flower Tower is designed to be placed on horizontal surfaces.

Other than that distinction, the Wall Mounted Flower Tower shares the same design technology as its cousin. The Wall Mounted Flower Tower stands a modest 63 centimeters tall or just under 25 inches and is made of environmentally friendly plastic.  The Wall Mounted Flower Tower is pretty easy to assemble.  It conveniently ships in an easy to open plastic bag container which includes simple, illustrated assembly instructions printed on the bag.  Assembly is quite simple and takes less than five minutes.  Inside the packaging you will find a perforated, plastic vertical gardening housing container that must be folded to create a semi-cylindrical shaped container that houses the plants.  Once folded, the cylinder is firmly held in place by built in tabs which snap into the holes located throughout the housing container.  Particular care must be made to ensure that the tab ends are pushed completely through each cylinder hole because the tabs' function is to hold the cylinder together.  After creating the housing cylinder, all that is required is attaching four small plastic tubes  together.  These small tubes easily connect together to form a 28 cm (11") watering tube that conveniently distributes water throughout the entire plant ecosystem.  Once you attach the cylinder and the watering tube to the unit's base, you have assembled your vertical garden.

The Flower Tower is marketed as a "go anywhere/grow anywhere" gardening system.  It is certainly a light weight, mobile vertical gardening system when it does not have potting soil.  However, relocating the Flower Tower after it has been filled with soil may not be advisable, as it is unclear how well the Flower Tower's light weight plastic structure can handle being moved with a maximum load.  In any event, the Flower Tower seems to fit perfectly well in any environment, whether in a patio, balcony, or foyer.  Mounting your plants on the wall with this vertical garden system will undoubtedly perfectly highlight your beautiful plants.

You will also discover that planting with the Flower Tower is pretty easy, thanks in part to the fact that the housing cylinder contains planting holes with approximate 2" diameters.  The manufacturer modestly notes that the planting holes are standard nursery plant size.  But the Flower Tower has a couple of well thought out design features.  For instance, the "standard nursery plant size" planting holes feature slitted edges that are designed to give when you inserting or removing plants.  This makes the planting process much more pleasant than trying to force a plant through an unforgiving planting hole.  Additionally, even the Flower Tower's watering tube is innovative.  The watering tube features water distribution holes that are larger at the top of the tube and that become smaller as you reach the bottom of the tube.  This design feature ensure that water is effectively spread throughout the plant ecosystem and that none of the water ends of sitting at the bottom of the Flower Tower.  Amazingly, it takes only about 10 seconds to water the entire garden using the watering tube.

We think you will love the Wall Mounted Flower Tower.  It does what it's supposed to do remarkably well: provides a ecosystem for vertically displaying and maintaining your plants on almost any vertical surface.
