Vertical gardening
Vertical gardening refers to the greening of walls and facades. Plants are attached to vertical surfaces using appropriate structures.
Urban gardening encompasses various forms of greening in cities and outdoor spaces. Vertical gardens can be installed on buildings, in courtyards, on terraces, or at other suitable locations. They make it possible to creatively utilize existing wall space and integrate plants into architectural designs.
Depending on the design, various plant species can be used. The selection depends, among other factors, on the location, light conditions, irrigation, maintenance requirements, and structural conditions.
Planning and implementation
Careful planning and appropriate construction are required for the implementation of a green facade. The following factors, in particular, must be taken into account:
- Load-bearing capacity and condition of the wall
- Substructure and fastening
- Waterproofing of the wall surface
- Irrigation and drainage
- Site and light conditions
- Selection, care, and growth of the plants
- Accessibility for maintenance and upkeep
The specific implementation depends on the individual construction project and local conditions.
