Vertical garden volunteer projects – Vertical gardens, also known as living walls, green walls, or vertical green systems, are gardens that grow plants upwards using structures or walls rather than spreading them out on the ground. They’re a smart way to add greenery when space is limited, especially in urban environments.

Here’s how they typically work:

• Plants are supported vertically on panels, trellises, or walls.
• They can be soil-based, hydroponic (water-based), or use other growing media.
• A frame or support system holds the plants, often with built-in irrigation and drainage systems to help keep the plants healthy.
• They can be used indoors or outdoors, on building exteriors, balconies, offices, or even living rooms.

Why use them?

• Saves space: Great for small apartments or city buildings.
• Improves air quality: Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
• Thermal insulation: Helps regulate building temperature.
• Reduces noise: Acts as a sound barrier.
• Looks awesome: Adds a splash of nature and color to otherwise dull walls.

Think of it as turning your wall into a vertical slice of nature—functional and beautiful. Would you be interested in how to build one or use it for decoration?
