Bring your walls to life with a vertical garden

HAVE you ever heard of an urban ruralist? 

Neither had I until I came across two of them, brothers Mark and David Milner who run their business Living Walls just outside Ashbourne, Co Meath, where they design and make living, breathing walls of garden planting for the interior and exterior of your home.

“We’re trying to balance the urban and rural in harmony, and bring rural life back into the urban environment,” says Mark, who joined with his horticulturalist brother David in 2009 to create the business.
