Vertical Planting and Green Walling in dublin

Living walls are vertically installed plants that create a lush green vertical canopy of living plant life. Curated by Patrick Blanc it is an ingenious re engineering of natures rooting system. 

It has proved popular in many cities around the globe especially Los Angeles, Paris and London.

It is a simple and quick way to green up dull concrete city walls. It is also extremely eco friendly and 

a totally fresh approach to insulating the exterior f a building which makes it ann energy saving product as well. 

The panels themselves come as square meter pads that can be attached to the exterior f any solid brick or block wall.

Research by the Centre for Sustainable Development at the University of Cambridge has found that "a layer of vegetation can reduce heat loss from buildings, cutting the wind chill factor by 75% and heating demand by 25%."

Inspired by plants in rainforest canopies or living on rocks around waterfalls the key features were green roofs and planted walls.

The wealth of benefits from this planting style includes reducing pollution and rainwater run-off, insulating buildings and providing habitat for wildlife. Vertical gardening can offset the impact of paving over front gardens, increasing vegetation in otherwise concrete-filled spaces and reducing the risk of localised flooding.
