If you grow ivy in a bed at the base of the wall it is less likely to cause damage with it's roots.
Great idea. If the plants are vines they could be trained to climb a trellis right next to the wall...close enough to look like they are attached to the wall but far enough to avoid actual contact with it.

Thanks for you help
I had a plant growing out of my stone wall attached to my porch on my 100-year-old house and thought it was pretty cute until the wall fell down! :eek:
