Congrats, Garden On The Wall’s first EPD is live

What just launched

Garden On The Wall published its first Environmental Product Declaration in January. The declaration covers a product family titled “Preserved Wall Gardens,” scoped for interior wall and ceiling panel applications. The program operator of record is Sustainable Minds, with the LCA and EPD development also credited to Sustainable Minds.

Scope note that matters in submittals. This is a product‑family EPD rather than a one‑SKU document, which lets specifiers reference one verified declaration across many garden configurations.

Why this matters in their corner of interiors

Garden On The Wall creates preserved moss and foliage installations for workplaces, hospitality, education, and healthcare. Designers use these systems to deliver biophilic impact, acoustic softness, and a calming visual without irrigation hardware or ongoing plant care.

An EPD turns that story into numbers project teams can evaluate alongside other wall finishes. It removes a common “documentation stall” that slows approvals.

The basics, at a glance

• Product coverage: Preserved Wall Gardens (product‑family scope)
• Category signal: aligns to Non‑Metal Ceiling and Interior Wall Panel requirements (Part B PCR)
• Program operator: Sustainable Minds
• Release window: January 2026

Competitive snapshot

In adjacent finish choices, Arktura publishes multiple current panel EPDs for PET acoustic wall and ceiling systems under this same Part B category, so they already show up clean in specs. Wood systems maker 9Wood likewise lists current EPDs for panelized linears and grilles.

Wool‑felt panel brands that compete for similar feature walls vary. As of January 2026, FilzFelt shows no active, program‑verified EPDs we could confirm. That mix means Garden On The Wall just caught up to leaders in documentation‑heavy interiors while also carving space where moss walls often lacked third‑party environmental reporting.

What changes for bids and submittals

LEED v5 keeps product EPDs squarely in play for materials transparency and whole‑life‑carbon tracking, which means specifiers continue to ask for third‑party declarations they can cite quickly (USGBC, 2025). A family EPD lowers RFI churn, trims substitution risk, and makes biophilic features easier to keep in the package when owners tighten paperwork.

If your team is planning its first EPD, copy the smart parts of this launch. Pick the PCR your competitors already use, publish under a recognized operator, and make the data easy to find. Teams that want less internal busywork should prioritize partners who handle data wrangling and cross‑functional collection rather than pushing it back to engineering.

Where to find the document

We did not yet see the EPD linked on Garden On The Wall’s sustainability pages. Posting it alongside HPDs, Declare, and VOC documentation will help designers pull everything from one place and will definately reduce back‑and‑forth.

The takeaway

Garden On The Wall just gave preserved greenery a modern spec passport. Against PET and wood systems with established EPD libraries, this debut closes a credibility gap. Inside the moss wall niche, it sets a new bar and turns a once hard‑to‑document finish into a ready‑to‑approve choice.
