Vertical Gardening 3 Pots

Benefits of Vertical Garden

Green walls are found most often in urban environments where the plants reduce overall temperatures of the building. “The primary cause of heat build-up in cities insulation, the absorption of solar radiation by roads and buildings in the city and the storage of this heat in the building material and its subsequent re-radiation. The plants may purify slightly polluted water (such as grey water) by absorbing the dissolved nutrients. Bacteria mineralize the organic components to make them available to the plants. Living walls are particularly
suitable for cities, as they allow good use of available vertical surface areas.

Components of Vertical Garden

• Fabrication: SS/Aluminium/MS Fabrication structure to hold the Module.
• Modules: Vertical Modules OR Biowall to hold the planting media and plants.
• Irrigation system: to water the plants
a. Main Pipe
