VGMs, comprising a geotextile bag filled with lightweight planting media were pre-planted with Asplenium and various species of ferns in a nursery environment prior to installation. Encased in support frames on site, the VGMs were then mounted directly onto the slightly concave walls and a drip irrigation system installed to supply regular water and nutrients to the plants.
