Green idea: inspiring and unique Green Screen applications
For many years, you have successfully installed Mobilane Green Screens as yard fencing in your customers gardens. This beautiful, instantly mature hedge has proven to be a reliable and aesthetic solution for creating privacy and beautifying outdoor spaces. But did you know that the applications of the Green Screen extend far beyond traditional yard fences?
Green idea #1: Create a unique hedge by mixing with flowering plants
A Mobilane Green Screen, especially species such as Hedera, provides an excellent basis for creating a beautiful and unique yard fence. Hedera, with its hardy and evergreen nature, is ideal to combine with flowering plants such as roses or wisteria. By using this mix of evergreen and flowering plants, you can create a vibrant and dynamic hedge that is attractive all year round.
How to implement.?
- Plan the layout: Decide in advance where you want to place the flowering plants and how much space they need to grow well in combination with the Green Screen.
- Select the right varieties: Choose flowering plants that thrive in combination with the Green Screen species and that suit the conditions in your client’s garden.
- Plant carefully: Make sure the flowering plants have enough space to develop without disturbing the growth of the hedge.
- Maintenance: Advise your customers on proper maintenance to ensure that both the hedge and the flowering plants remain healthy and grow well.
Green idea #2: Create a play tipi for children with Green Screens
A play tipi made from Mobilane Green Screens is a great way to create a playful and natural play area for children. This provides not only a fun and adventurous element in the garden, but also a safe, sheltered and shaded space where children can play and let their imaginations run wild.
How to make a play tipi?
- Choose the right location: Select a flat, open area in the garden that offers enough space for the tipi. Make sure the soil is loose and that there is enough sunlight for the plants to grow.
- Select suitable plants: Mobilane Green Screen is perfect for this project, especially species like Hedera because of their fast growth and evergreen features. You can also add climbing plants such as clematis or climbing roses for extra colour and texture.
- Place the hedge: Plant the Mobilane Green Screen diagonally together. Make sure the plants are well attached and that they get enough water and nutrition to grow well.
- Maintenance: Check the growth of the plants regularly and make sure they are well guided along the frame. Prune if necessary to maintain the shape and density of the tipi.
Additional tips:
- Furnishings: Add soft cushions, blankets and maybe even a small mat inside the tipi to create a comfortable and inviting play area.
- Decoration: Let children decorate their tipi with lights, flags or other outdoor toys to make it extra special.
- Education: Use the tipi as an educational space where children can learn about plants and nature while they play.
Green idea #3: Increase biodiversity with birdhouses and nesting boxes
Integrating birdhouses and nesting boxes into the Mobilane Green Screen is a great way to increase biodiversity in the garden and create an attractive habitat for birds. This not only creates an ecologically balanced garden, but also adds life and sound to the garden, much to the delight of your customers.
How to add bird houses and nesting boxes?
- Choose the right houses: Select birdhouses and nesting boxes that are suitable for the bird species in your area. Make sure the openings and interior meet the needs of the specific birds you want to attract.
- Strategic placement: Place birdhouses and nesting boxes at different heights and locations in the hedge to attract a variety of bird species. Make sure they are well protected from predators and direct wind or sun.
- Attach to the hedge: Use strong fasteners to secure the houses and boxes to the hedge. Make sure the fixings do not obstruct the growth of the plants.
- Maintenance and inspection: Check birdhouses and nesting boxes regularly for damage and clean them after each breeding season to remove parasites and keep the boxes attractive to new residents.
Additional tips:
- Feed and water: Consider placing feeders and water containers near the hedge to encourage birds to settle and stay in the garden.
Variety: Add different types of nest boxes, such as open nest boxes for robins or specific boxes for swallows, to attract a wide range of birds.
Planting: Plant berry bushes or other bird-friendly plants near the hedge to provide additional food sources.
