Exploring the environmental benefits of Vertical Gardens

Vertical Gardens and sustainability go hand in hand, as these marvellous structures are designed to live and grow as they would in any standard garden. In terms of installing a unique work of art that brings so many additional benefits and pleasant side effects, Green Walls and Vertical Gardens from Vertical Gardens Australia are second to none.

How Vertical Gardens contribute to sustainability

Another aspect of Vertical Gardens and their sustainability comes into play in the choice of plants included in each creation. The way we at Vertical Gardens Australia create a Vertical Garden makes it perfect for growing a wide range of vegetables and herbs. This allows owners to take control of their choices and reduce reliance on pre-packaged, mass-produced fresh products.  Choosing a continuously growing wall of plants over fresh bouquets that are already dying and need to be replaced is another factor that makes these stunning creations among the most sustainable gardening solutions in Australia. We are proud to produce such incredible pieces and do our part for the environment in times of unprecedented change.

Advantages of sustainable gardening solutions in Australia

Few additions to any space are more impactful and game-changing than a beautiful Circular Vertical Garden of living plants. They enhance the serenity and calm vibe of the space and provide other tangible benefits, including:
Arresting visuals

At Vertical Gardens Australia, one of our favourite Vertical Garden advantages is simply how stunning they look. Even before we look at the other excellent benefits of these unique artworks, we appreciate how vibrant and attractive they look. Guests and visitors are invariably drawn to these remarkable creations, and they are almost always the first topic of conversation as people marvel at their design and appearance.

Increased perceived property value

The first impressions of potential buyers who view a property are crucial in their perception of its desirability. When an area of that property is filled with oxygen and the sense of serenity that a Vertical Garden produces, it is impossible not to be impressed.

Noise dampening

As natural dampeners of external sounds, plants have a fantastic capacity for creating calm, quiet spaces perfect for everything from quiet contemplation to yoga, business meetings, and more. The advantages of having a plant-filled space in any property or business should not be underestimated, and it can create an entirely different atmosphere and vibe that is much needed in a busy modern world. 

Comfortable temperature

As plants transpire, they release moisture that helps keep the temperature of any space even and comfortable. This is a welcome relief in almost any location, but with the Australian climate being so frequently brutal, it is one of the most potent Vertical Garden advantages.

Superior air quality
As the plants soak up carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, they produce a healthy, invigorating atmosphere in any space. Naturally filtering toxins and pollution from the atmosphere leaves us with pure, refreshing oxygen at increased levels that bring energy and vigour to any individual spending time in their presence. 

Reducing urban heat island effect

The urban heat island effect is an uncomfortable phenomenon whereby higher air temperatures are experienced in cities and metropolitan areas than in the surrounding rural ones, especially at night. On a larger scale, heat is reduced by trees and green spaces. We can create a microcosm of that system in our homes and commercial spaces using exquisite Vertical Gardens, one of the most effective sustainable gardening solutions in Australia. Through the natural act of ‘breathing’, plants release moisture that helps to cool any area. The difference that even a few plants can make to the temperature and atmosphere in any space is remarkable. The results can be breathtaking when you have an entire Green Wall of beautiful living flora. 

Improving air quality

Not only does an abundance of plants help reduce the internal temperatures of any space through transpiration (releasing of moisture), but it can drastically improve air quality. As the plants absorb carbon dioxide, they act as a natural filter, and the oxygen they release is beautifully pure and refreshing. Spend any time wandering in a rainforest, and you will feel incredible euphoria and energy. We can create this on a smaller scale using stunning Green Walls, just another of the many Vertical Garden advantages. 

Enhancing biodiversity

When you speak with us at Vertical Gardens Australia and discuss your dream Green Wall, we as experts will be more than happy to give you the lowdown on a wide variety of plant options. The potential for encouraging biodiversity is unrivalled, and if you take advantage of the free consultation, you will be one step closer to having a unique, diverse range of plants. 

Energy efficiency and insulation benefits

As we have seen, an abundance of plants helps reduce the temperature of any location, thereby the need to expend additional energy. The long-term benefits can be substantial, and any beautifully created Green Wall from our team at Vertical Gardens Australia can pay for itself by reducing energy bills over time.
