Green House

The lack of vegetation in urbanised areas, as a result of

human establishments, directly affects the quality of life. The

construction of vertical gardens is recommended both in

interiors and especially in the exteriors of the building. The new

modern concepts for landscape development are keen on using

any kind of concrete or glass, and then turning them into real

vertical gardens. This makes a smooth transition to an urban

green space for a healthy environment.

What Are Vertical Gardens?

Vertical gardening is a special kind of urban gardening suitable

to small spaces, particularly for decorating the walls and roofs

in various styles, all placed in a vertical space. Green walls are

not only spectacularly beautiful, but also helpful in enhancing

the ambiance.

Why Vertical Gardening?

Intensive urbanisation has left hardly any horizontal space for

outdoor gardens. Vertical gardening can help in cleaning outside

air pollutants - the dust, the carbon footprint of people and fuel

emissions, thereby reducing urban heat effect and smog to create

habitats for birds and beneficial insects, and expanding the balance

of the biodiversity. It also insulates and cools the building envelope.

Besides, it can be used for growing food in urban settings, creating

sustainable and local control of food sources.
