think minigarden<br />

<strong>Minigarden</strong> is a modular system that allows the growing of ornamental,<br />

aromatic and vegetable plants.<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong> is freestanding, self-draining and can be installed inside or<br />

outside.<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong>’s modularity permits to design and install vertical gardens<br />

very easily, leaving full room for your creativity.<br />

In this cross-section<br />

we can see how<br />

the modules fit into<br />

each other, as well<br />

as the substrate or<br />

soil filling

think design<br />

and modularity<br />

Each module of the <strong>Minigarden</strong> system comprises only 4 easily mounted<br />

parts: a lid, a circular clip, a recipient with 3 cavities and a base tray.<br />

The assembly is very simple and the possibilities are limitless. Its modular<br />

features permit to stack it both vertically and horizontally, in a single row or backto-back,<br />

creating countless combinations.<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong> can be very easily installed inside or outside, embedded in or<br />

attached to walls or gables.

and modularity<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong> system versatility and simplicity permit an easy and lasting<br />

installation, from the floor or at any height, as illustrated in these pictures.

think simplicity<br />

and durability<br />

The combination possibilities are only limited by your imagination, considering<br />

that, besides its modular forms, you can also play with the plants varieties and<br />

colors to create unique effects, with the benefit of being able to easily replace<br />

the plants after installing the <strong>Minigarden</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong> is made of high resistance polypropylene copolymer and<br />

includes additives for protection against ultraviolet rays, which allows it to be<br />

used in extreme weather conditions (solar radiation and temperature), having a<br />

ten-year guarantee for its integrity. It is also reusable, fully recyclable and<br />

available in 5 colors:


irrigation system<br />

drainage system<br />

At the bottom of each<br />

module there are small grills<br />

(2 per cavity), through which<br />

the excess water runs to the<br />

tray directly below the<br />

corresponding module and,<br />

after that, to the tray at the<br />

assembly base<br />

think clever<br />

irrigations and<br />

drainage systems<br />

For large scale settings we developed an unique watering system for the<br />

<strong>Minigarden</strong>, consisting of a micro tube (Ø 4.6mm) with integrated drip feeders<br />

or a porous micro tube (Ø 9mm), both hidden inside the module, a pressure<br />

reducing filter and a collecting tube (Ø 13mm) that feeds the micro tube through<br />

T-branches. Additionally, it’s possible to install a liquid fertilizer dosing device to<br />

convert the system to ferti-watering or semi-hydroponic, as well as a system<br />

programmer.<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong> was designed with an innovative gravitational drainage<br />

mechanism. This feature ensures that all excess irrigation water at the plants<br />

roots will be drained to the tray at the unit base. This system is very important<br />

the ensure the planting sustainability in the long run.

think inspiration<br />

The <strong>Minigarden</strong> has inspired countless architects who have created unique<br />

projects in such places as Hong Kong, Spain, Dubai, Netherlands, Portugal, etc.<br />

Its unique features are the best solution to create vertical landscaped spaces in<br />

any size, with a guarantee of easy installation and maintenance and at an<br />

extremely competitive cost compared to other systems.<br />

The only limit for the <strong>Minigarden</strong> potential is your creativity, because, although<br />

mini, it allows to achieve big results.
