Kurzfassung

A French SME has developed ready-to-use canvases for mosaïculture, which allow gardeners to divide by 4 the time spent on setting and maintaining floral frescos. These canvases act like guides for planting. This company is looking for users and strategic partners to integrate this technology in their own range of products, thanks to know-how transfer.

Details

A French SME has developed canvases for mosaïculture, which allow dividing by up to 4 the time needed to achieve and maintain complex attractive floral designs. Moreover, it avoids the need for skilled conception and planting.

This is a new way of communicating events or institutions that can be duplicated limitlessly and which moreover embellishes the environment.

Ecologic?
This support is ecological, biodegradable and weed resistant. It is made of linen.

Where to be set?
It can be used in flowering borders, town squares, roundabouts, amusement parks, zoos, golf courses, edges of roads, parks and gardens, urban and suburban settings, etc.

Technology
The principle of this product consists of computer-processing an image, drawing or picture: coats of arms, logos, shields, etc.
The design is printed onto a biodegradable linen canvas of the same dimension as the flowerbed. This support, once perforated, acts like an ideal guide for planting.
This product is easily adjusted on the ground and facilitates planting by indicating the colour disposition of the various plants that make up the design. Once planting is completed, the canvas decomposes progressively as the plants develop and reduces the proliferation of weeds in the flowerbed. The finished result adheres to the original design without distorting it in any way.
Canvases are 1x4m or 2x8m sized. A diagram, a placement guide and a demonstration CD-ROM are supplied to ease the use.
For maximum visual satisfaction, a minimum surface area of 30m² with a 30% incline is recommended.
