What Are Living Walls? 

Visually defying gravity, living walls or plant walls are stunning installations of living art. This fresh look at plant design is inspired by natural occurrences that have been beautifying walls for thousands of years. Ferns, vines, shrubs and trees naturally take hold and grow in the crevices and pockets of cliffs, waterfalls, or in the mortar of brick or stone walls.

Living walls are also sometimes called green walls, vertical planting systems, vertical gardens, plant walls or vegetated walls. These plantscapes serve as living art and bring an unexpected design element to any space. As plants grow and bloom, the living wall becomes a constantly changing piece of art.

Biophilia and Living Walls 

In addition to providing an office or commercial space an elegant and unique design feature,  living walls naturally filters the air surrounding it. The living and breathing plants absorb the carbon dioxides and volatile organic compounds. Studies show that plants can even naturally reduce our stress and make us feel more at ease in our surroundings – a term the plant and design world is now calling biophilic design. A living wall could also be a great addition to an office space. It won’t take up valuable real estate and it will improve the environment for employees, supporting health and productivity.
