Construct the primary structural spine using rot-resistant western red cedar, anchoring it securely to the tree trunk with flexible mounts that allow for natural growth and movement. Ensure the vertical frame is perfectly plumb to support the weight of the water-filled planting modules.
Fabricate individual tiered planting troughs with integrated drainage channels that gravity-feed down the structure. Utilize marine-grade joinery to ensure the water circulation system remains leak-proof and withstands fluctuating outdoor humidity levels.
Install a closed-loop solar-powered pump system hidden within a decorative cedar housing at the base. This system silently cycles nutrient-rich water from a bottom reservoir to the uppermost trough, creating a gentle trickle that provides soothing ambient noise.
Complete the assembly by installing removable acrylic wind-shields to protect the delicate flora from harsh gusts. Apply a natural, food-safe oil finish to the cedar to enhance its grain and provide long-term protection against the elements.
