I just want to let you know I love your product! We are going to do a second wall on the other side of our yard.
We are thrilled to be a professional Atlanta based installer of the Varden Retaining Wall System. A structural and functional retaining wall covered in plants is an ingenious way to bring vertical gardening into your landscape design to what would otherwise be concrete block or wood timbers. There is no other product in the marketplace that offers the same versatility.
this was a great install I had about 50 feet that was in a S curve shape. and this looked great. We are working on getting the plants growing. I added a drip system to help. I did it my self so there are some errors but so far so good.
Opened box to find three of the pouches unsealed and soil had spilled out in the bag. Will figure out a way to seal them but 100 feels like a lot to have to do extra work to refill/seal myself. I’m sure they’ll work great, but annoying
I ordered a pallet of 250 live retaining wall blocks two years ago, works great for me, my backyard is next to a canyon with drastic slope inaccessible with construction equipment, I find this product extremely helpful, and all manageable to install by myself. Awesome results for landslide mitigation and multi-level planting area retainage, holding steady after two years, I just ordered another pallet for more coverage of my venture, what’s more satisfying is that customer service is very professional. Looking forward for more great project experience
I used my 2'w x 3't Varden Kitchen Garden with one of the Garden Stands on my balcony and it worked great. I added another 2 x 3 wire panel and trays after some easy modifications so that I could double my balcony garden to 3'w x 4't and harvested till after Thanksgiving. Great space saving product!
I did a complete renovation of my backyard using these blocks to fix grading issues and double the usable space. I used about 170 blocks. I'm very happy with how they turned out and can't wait for the wall to grow over. I did the entire project by myself using basic hand tools. I think I would have injured my back if I had used stone blocks. I love the fact that I have doubled my gardening space too. Now I have an amazing backyard to enjoy for years to come.
What at first appears to be a simple piece of plastic is actually an engineering masterpiece. This well constructed tray has thoughtful irrigation incorporated into its design and is built to last for years, regardless if you are a residential or commercial user. This tray design is the cornerstone product to the modular flexibility offered by the Varden system. I couldn’t be happier.
Here are a few pictures of what I was able to build using 4 DYI kits and some materials from the lumber store. Now it’s time to order the trays for the 20’ wall before a spring planting of day neutral strawberries.
I received my roll of bulk mesh and got right to work making my 2’ long socks and planting nearly 300 strawberry plants for my Varden project. I am really happy with the quality of the material and how well it held up in our planting process. I would recommend that anyone thinking of using this material in their application to give it a try as I haven’t been able to find a better product on the market and I have looked extensively. Besides, the customer service has been outstanding as they have answered all of my questions and helped me with my hybrid design. Thanks again!
“We love our Living Wall at MADE! Mark made the installation super easy and we couldn’t be happier with how the first two seasons have gone. What was a boring elevator tower is now alive and attracting a lot of positive attention. Thanks Mark and Verdtech!”

“Took this picture today. Note this has been covered in snow twice this December and plants still look great!”

“The living walls designed and installed by Verdtech are amazing. We are not green thumb people but we love the look and warmth plants bring to a home. The Varden™ walls are perfect for us – almost no maintenance, just enjoyment. After only a week, our tropical living room wall is flourishing. We love to cook, and now with our kitchen herb wall, we have fresh herbs every day. It is truly unique – both beautiful and functional. These walls are living art.”
– Bob & Betsy Cuneo, St. Louis, MO
“I planted this back in June and I’ve been harvesting herbs and greens from it ever since; it comes back lush and green after every harvest!”
