The Role of Vertical Gardens in Urban Landscape Design

As Vertical Garden design, installation and maintenance specialists, our company provides professional services to clients all over Australia. We believe that vertical gardens have a crucial role to play in urban landscape design. On plots where there would otherwise be no practical way to introduce much-needed vegetation, a Vertical Garden can be most welcome.

By integrating vertical gardens in cities across Australia, we can create green spaces in areas that are currently unremittingly grey.

Integrating Vertical Gardens in Cities: A Modern Approach

Until recently, it was rooftop gardens that led the urban greening charge, but that is beginning to change as more people become aware of the benefits of vertical gardens in urban areas.

With Vertical Gardens, it is possible for urban greening initiatives to reach areas that were previously thought unreachable. If you are leading an urban greening initiative in any part of Australia, we recommend giving serious thought to going vertical. Urban greening with vertical gardens may still be a very modern approach but it has already proven its worth and is sure to become more and more popular.

Benefits of vertical gardens in urban areas

There are many reasons to encourage the incorporation of vertical gardens in city planning programmes across the country:

• Eco-friendly – Vertical gardens are ideal candidates for drip irrigation systems, which means they can thrive on less water than conventional gardens in Australia.
• Added insulation – When attached to the walls of residential or commercial properties, vertical gardens can provide extra insulation.
• Aesthetically pleasing – As humans we have an affinity with the natural world that is with us from birth. It is probably for this reason that so many of us love to gaze at the natural beauty of nature.
• Good for your health – Vertical gardens can help reduce localised pollution, resulting in improved air quality. For this reason alone it’s worth considering a vertical garden in your home or commercial property.

City planners in all areas should seriously consider the benefits of vertical gardens in urban areas, as should private homeowners.
