Remember that post about vertical gardens?
I tried to gather information on how to make one, in case you’re one of those with green fingers and not enough space to exercise them, or just want your own green wall.
Green walls can be simple or more complex, depending on your needs. The cost of making a vertical garden mainly consists of the price of the structure materials, which is pretty standard, and the cost of the plants, which can vary greatly depending on your choice of flora.

Package vertical garden installation.
The “Garden for a not too distant future” is an installation that is part vertical garden, part criticism about the lack of green space in cities and the growing hype of overpriced, difficult to maintain vertical walls. The installation consists of 110 transparent food packaging containers inside which were put leaves, branches found in the trees in the area and lights.

A green wall at São Paulo.
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.
