What are Green Walls?

Green walls are exactly what they sound like. They are walls covered with green plants and flowers.

 

Also called living walls or vertical gardens, green walls include all the materials needed to help your plants thrive, including soil, custom lighting and an irrigation system.

 

You can design your living wall for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Living walls create a stunning, eco-friendly work of art to enhance any area with plant life.

 

Additionally, living walls have many other added benefits.

The Benefits of a Green Wall

From green walls to interior gardens, the benefits of working and living in a space surrounded by plant life are vast.

 

In fact, in a study completed by the New University of Technology Sydney, plants were added to offices for a three-month period.

 

The research showed employees with plants in their workspace experienced a 30-60% reduction in stress levels.

 

Not only do green walls reduce stress and increase happiness, but they also can improve a person’s overall health and wellness.

Don’t Forget the Water Features

Green walls can also include custom water features. Living walls are the perfect place to create a focal point with a soothing fountain or custom water feature.
