Vertical Gardening Walls – A sustainable Approach to Construction
Vertical Gardening is a unique type of urban gardening suitable to small spaces, particularly for decorating the walls and roofs in a variety of styles. It is an alternative method for gardening by increasing the scale of growing plants in a vertical space. Extensive urbanization has left hardly any horizontal space for outdoor gardens. Green walls are not only aesthetically appealing but also helpful in stimulating the ambiance. Green walls are able to absorb heated gas in the air, reduce both indoor and outdoor temperatures, offering a healthier indoor air quality as well as a more beautiful space.
The Global Vertical Garden Construction Market is expected to expand at 6.18% CAGR during the Forecast Period.
The lack of vegetation in urban areas, as a result of human establishments, directly affects the quality of life, from the physical and aesthetical point of view. The construction of vertical gardens is a useful practice both in interiors and especially in the exterior of buildings. By implementing these technologies, any kind of area can be used at its maximum capacity, obtaining esthetic valences, a benefit for the environment, and human health. Even if the cost of constructing and maintaining the vertical gardens is higher than a classical landscape, it is compensated by the environmental benefits, raising the vegetation surfaces, with an impact on lowering the pollution effect. The modern concepts for landscape development are adopting any kind of concrete or glass, turning them in real vertical gardens, making it possible to overcome the development of the urban areas and making a smoother transition for a healthy green urban environment. Living green walls are natural air-filters, building a cleaner, more invigorating work environment that will lead to better overall employee health and production. Office employees are often exposed to air toxins in their work environment, such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, VOCs, and benzene. Living green walls absorb harmful toxins while releasing oxygen into the workplace air, similar to office plants, but on a larger scale.
Green walls cannot be maintained without irrigation. Disruptions to the water supply are a common cause of plant malfunction on green walls. Systems constructed with inbuilt irrigation should mitigate plant losses due to inconsistent moisture management, even though errors can still occur. Automated, remotely controllable irrigation systems are deployed for walls in high profile locations, or in situations where access is challenging. Additionally, it is likely that the quality, design, and costs will differ between separate systems. The most complex systems enable the maintenance supervisor to keep track of the automated functioning of the system, involving the volume of irrigation delivered, substrate moisture content, its frequency, as well as pH and nutrient levels in the water resource.
A well-executed design is also a way to minimize the future preservation demand of the garden. A plant’s size, growth habit, and behavior on a vertical surface is essential knowledge for making the right combination of species, to keep the competition between plants at a beneficial level. Choosing the correct type of plant for the right place is vital for any garden, but even more so in a vertical garden wall. A vertical garden can be installed in almost any location, like subway stations or other extremely frequented places where flat space is difficult to spare, making the prospect of integrating plants in our urbane environments is attractive,
The best types of plants for vertical gardens are dense, compact, and growing at a low level.It is essential to select species that suit the part of the wall on which they will be growing. Apart from aesthetic preferences and the plants’ ability to grow in a soilless, vertical location, the selection of plants is based on numerous factors, for example: the local climate like (minimum temperature especially essential to know) The sun exposure in each area of the surface receiving and its change during the year; any particular microclimate, such as high buildings generating strong winds along a wall, as well as understanding the present growing conditions is essential to make the right decision when choosing plants.
