What are Green walls?

Green Walls are vertical gardens, grown to enhance the environment and inject beauty into everyday urban spaces. What was once stark concrete is transformed into a forest of greenery that instantly uplifts the environment. A green wall is a statement of both intent and originality; not only does it benefit the environment; it is also a piece of art in its own right, demanding to be seen and declaring its individuality.

Plants have been a part of natural life for our entire earthly existence, so it is no surprise that humans have an affinity with plants and greenery. Therefore, the beauty of a green wall is that it is a highly inoffensive work of art that is always beautiful; always spectacular.

Where are Green walls Built?

Green walls either stand alone, or are integrated into an existing wall; they are a simple solution that can dramatically transform an area of urban wasteland, or indeed any public space. Green walls are commonly created in environments such as shops and shopping centers; cafes and restaurants; schools and universities; galleries, offices and hotels “ the applications truly are limitless. As long as there is vertical space, these natural marvels can be infused into the infrastructure.

The Benefits of Living Green Walls

All too often, modern infrastructure consists of four concrete walls doused in a bland white paint; hence the benefits of plants are often overlooked. Yet it is no secret that plants have been scientifically proven to be emotionally uplifting, to lower blood pressure and increase well-being “ among other positive psychological responses “ and these effects are only multiplied when a green wall is present. Aside from psychological perceptions, and the sheer beauty of green walls, they also dramatically improve our air quality by producing oxygen and adding humidity to the air. Increased levels of oxygen boost concentration, while humidity in the air improves your immune system, aids mobility of muscles and joints, and is also very beneficial for the skin.

A wall takes up virtually no floor space while significantly enhancing the aesthetics of a previously conventional wall. Vertical space is very rarely used to its full potential, but regardless of whether a green Wall is placed indoors or outside, it improves the environment it is constructed in.
