Gardening vertically - vertical gardening in Green Façades
Gardening vertically, or vertical gardening, is a groundbreaking approach to the arrangement of greenery in modern urban and private spaces. In times of limited floor space and a growing need for contact with nature, vertical gardens are becoming the answer to the challenges of modern architecture and ecology.
At Green Facades, as the Polish leader in plant systems, we offer comprehensive solutions for vertically gardening - From green walls and plant paintings, freestanding partitions and natural fences to green roofs. Our systems are a combination of functionality, design and environmental care. With them, every square metre - even a wall or a roof - can become a space teeming with greenery and life.
What is vertical gardening? How does vertical gardening work?
Gardening vertically is a technique for planting and growing plants on vertical surfaces - such as building walls, fences, facades and even the interiors of offices and flats. Instead of traditional pots on the floor, greenery is placed on specially designed structures, creating the effect of a natural living wall.
In practice gardening vertically is based on modern modular systems such as LivePanel from Green Facades - integrated with automatic irrigation and a natural substrate that supports healthy plant growth. These systems can be adapted to indoor and outdoor conditions, allowing green compositions to be created on building facades as well as in office or domestic spaces.
Vertical gardens are not just about aesthetics. They are also a technology that supports the microclimate, health and well-being of residents - they purify the air, regulate temperature, improve acoustics and give a sense of closeness to nature even in the heart of the city.
Advantages of gardening vertically
By using vertical gardening, you gain:
- Air purification - removal of PM10, CO₂ and formaldehyde,
- thermal regulation - cooling in summer and insulation in winter,
- noise absorption - a natural sound barrier,
- enrichment of biodiversity - support for pollinating insects,
- improved wellbeing - stress reduction and increased productivity,
- modern decoration - original design, high aesthetics.
What plants work well in gardening vertically?
The right species are the basis for a lasting effect and easy care. Depending on the location, Green Facades recommends different plants:
For interiors:
- Wingflower (Spathiphyllum) - purifying the air,
- Philodendrons - simple to care for, tropical,
- Ferns - ideal in moist and semi-shaded conditions,
- Herbaceous (Chlorophytum) - a hardy plant with overhanging leaves,
- Begonias - flowering and decorative.
Outside:
- Common ivy (Hedera helix) - quickly overgrows, offering protection all year round,
- Succulents and cacti - perfect for sunny walls,
- Seasonal decorative climbers - changing with the seasons.
The LivePanel and LivePicture modules allow for the quick exchange of pots, which promotes flexibility and adaptation of arrangements throughout the year.
