GSKY SUNVEILS NEW VERSA WALL SYSTEM IN TRADER VIC’S
Two-sided Wall Adorns Entrance at New Restaurant in Portland, Ore.
VANCOUVER, B.C., Aug. 24, 2011 – GSky Plant Systems, Inc., has gone Polynesian with its newest Versa Green Wall Tray System at the popular new Trader Vic’s restaurant in the heart of Portland’s trendy Pearl District. The Wall, which features 736 plants, is the second two-sided Versa Wall in GSky’s portfolio. The other is at the Embassy Suites hotel in downtown Chicago.
Plants in the Trader’s Vic’s Versa Wall include Philodendron Cordatum, Lime Cordatum, Golden Pothos, Alocasia, Schefelera, Syngonium Pink, Calathea, Zebrina Pendula and Antherium.
“We’re very excited and proud of this Wall,” said GSky President Chad Sichello. “It has a great ‘eye appeal’ at the entrance to Trader Vic’s and it’s a pleasingly aesthetic way to welcome guests to the restaurant.”
Developed in response to the increased demand for Green Walls in offices, GSky’s Versa Wall System is a “customizable, low maintenance, Green Wall system” ideal for those who want versatile plant designs in their indoor office environment.
The Versa Wall design specifically caters to the needs of the interior plant maintenance industry. Its design employs standard practices used by interior plant maintenance companies so that plants can be easily maintained, refreshed and replaced as required with very little effort. For example, the Versa Wall plants can be easily changed out for seasonal updates to the wall, such as putting in Poinsettas for the Winter holiday season, or herbs can be put in the wall and refreshed on a weekly basis for a restaurants.
Furthermore, the watering system has been greatly simplified on the wall. Plants are irrigated by a trickle-down watering system that can be installed using a hidden water tank and pump so that the system does not require changes to interior plumbing lines.
