If you love greenery and would like to grow your favorite plants, but you don’t have a garden or balcony that is spacious enough for your vases, the solution is to set up a vertical garden.
Indeed, a vertical garden is a simple, original and elegant way to give any type of indoor or outdoor environment of your home, workplace or public venue, a touch of nature and relaxation.
A cutting edge solution
For example, you can set up a vertical garden along a wall in the hallway of your apartment building, or as a partition wall between two areas of an open floor plan.

In fact, a vertical garden is a solution to furnish in an effective way any room intended for study, work or even, using aromatic plants, a kitchen.
In addition, in recent times, especially in countries particularly sensitive to environmental issues, vertical gardens are increasingly popular as decoration for entire facades of residential and commercial buildings.
The wall cultivation systems
You can make your own vertical garden at home or in the office with your favorite plants, using the so-called plant pockets. These are water and moisture-resistant felt panels to be hung on metal nets, wooden walls or balcony railings.
For an aesthetically more refined result, you can choose specific pots to be attached to special panels, or directly to the wall.
The cultivation of a vertical garden does not require special measures: the traditional method with soil to be irrigated with a simple watering can will be fine. Or, for particularly large gardens, you can use a drip irrigation system to be installed in the support panel or on the wall.
All the benefits of a vertical garden
A vertical garden is a great way to decorate your home or work, embellishing it with the colors and scents of nature, thus improving the aesthetics and the sense of welcome.
In addition, using the vertical space allows you to create a green surface large enough to purify the air, absorb carbon dioxide, and ensure a natural thermoregulation.
A sufficiently large outdoor vertical garden is able to absorb UV rays, offers some sound insulation, and reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling, improving the quality of life of people living or working in the building.
The most suitable plants for your vertical garden
The choice of plants depends on the environmental characteristics of the wall on which your vertical garden will be installed, your preferences, and your needs.
For example, in the kitchen, you can create a green wall with rosemary, sage, mint and all your favorite herbs. In this way, even if you have little space, you will always have at hand natural ingredients for your dishes and you will enjoy a pleasantly decorated and fragrant environment.

Or, for a purely decorative purpose, you can choose climbing plants, which develop upwards, or cascading, which naturally grow downwards. If you do not have much time to devote to care and maintenance, you can opt for small evergreen plants such as heather or fern.
