Indoor Green Wall,Living Wall...send me on my way

Hi All:

I am planning to build an indoor green or living wall. I've searched all the forums here in Gardenweb and this one seems to be the most related to my question.

Have any of you had experience with living walls or green walls? (Mine will be about 4 feet wide by about 10 feet high.) Are there any links that I can look at? Is there a better forum where I should be posting my question?

Thanks,
Barry (the Loxsmith)

I created a "wall" of climbing plants about that size using an HID grow light. But that was in its own room, and those lights are very strong — not suitable for a place where people will gather.

A more practical step might be to have some low-light climbing plants, such as pothos or philodendron, and grow them up a picture-window grate in light shade or somewhere else where there's good natural light but not full sun. The House Plant Forum would be a good place to ask about choice of plants.
