A vertical garden, also known as a living wall, is a gardening technique where plants are grown upwards instead of horizontally. This method utilizes vertical space, making it ideal for small areas like balconies or urban environments. Vertical gardens can be created using various structures, such as trellises, wall-mounted planters, or modular systems, allowing for a diverse range of plant species. These gardens offer numerous benefits, including improved air quality, enhanced aesthetics, and increased biodiversity. They can also help insulate buildings and reduce energy costs. Vertical gardens are often used in both residential and commercial settings, contributing to sustainable urban development and green architecture.
