Green Walls / Living Walls

A green wall is a wall partially or completely covered with vegetation. Green walls can either be free-standing or part of a building. There are two main categories of green walls: green façades and living walls. The vegetation for a green façade is attached on outside walls, but there is also the case of indoor living walls where the vegetation lies on interior walls. Green walls are also referred to as living walls, biowalls, or vertical gardens.

Your Own Window Garden

A bit of green at your window.

Spring time! The sunlight and the fresh breezes make this time of the year perfect for gardening activities. So there’s your chance to start your own garden! If, like us, you’re living in an apartment, you might think there isn’t much you can do to get your green finger in action.

Well, you might have a small (or, if you’re lucky, medium-sized) patio or balcony; but you definitely have at least one window: you can use every available space to grow your little Eden. The truth is, if you grow a garden at your window sill, the best description would be tiny Eden, but that won’t stop your garden from giving your home a touch of nature and beauty – and maybe handfuls of edible plants, depending on what you choose to grow.
