Valya & Delfino
Hey Valya, have you ever thought about turning an unused parking lot into a vertical garden? I’m all about making the most of space and I know you’re big on planting things that actually help the planet.
Absolutely, I love turning empty lots into green lungs. A vertical garden can clean the air, cool the heat island, and bring life back to concrete. We’d need a sturdy frame, rain‑water harvesting, drought‑tolerant native plants, and a few volunteers to keep it going. Let’s sketch a quick plan and rally the neighborhood—no excuses for a greener city!
That’s the spirit! Let’s nail down the frame first—steel or recycled wood? I can grab a spare ladder and start building a prototype this weekend, no excuses. For the water system, we can hook a rain barrel to the gutters and use a drip system so every drop counts. I’ll reach out to a few friends, see who can bring tools or a green thumb. And maybe we can host a quick demo on Saturday to rally the neighbors—who can’t pass up a free garden lesson? Let's make that lot bloom!
That’s a solid plan—steel gives durability, but recycled wood keeps the vibe green and cheap. I’d lean toward sturdy timber that’s already been treated, so you get the eco‑feel without extra chemicals. The ladder prototype is a great way to test the height and weight. Make sure the frame’s stable, maybe add some cross braces so the plants don’t sway too much. For the drip system, a simple T‑valve from a garden supply store will keep costs low and let you adjust flow on the fly. Bring a handful of volunteers to demo the planting—live examples are the best persuasion. I’ll help spread the word on social media and maybe get a local eco‑shop to donate some seed packets. Let’s make that lot a community garden and show everyone how green can start with a single step!
Love the timber idea—treat the wood, keep it clean, keep it green. I’ll start building the frame this weekend, add those cross braces, test it with the ladder. I’ll pull a few helpers, set up the T‑valve system, and we’ll demo the plants on Saturday. You’ll hit the socials, I’ll grab seed packets from the eco‑shop, and we’ll get the whole block buzzing. One step, one lot, one big green victory—let’s do it!
