The Rising Popularity of Vertical Gardens

Vertical gardens and Green Walls are innovative structures that hold indoor plants in place and connect you to the outdoors – even if you’re stuck in a tiny office!

This article aims to provide you with more information about what vertical gardens can be used for, and why hiring them is a much better option than purchasing vertical plants yourself. 

Vertical gardens are ideal for any corporate offices wanting to get back to nature. They are equally as effective in small and large spaces, giving even the bleakest of areas a much needed face-lift.

It’s no surprise then that in recent years, the popularity of vertical wall gardens in Sydney – and ultimately, the rest of Australia – has indicated that the demand for green walls is likely to increase. And as the world’s population grows and cities become denser, the benefits of vertical gardens will become more apparent.

Where Can I Put a Vertical Garden?

Generally, there’s no wrong spot to put your vertical garden. They can be placed almost anywhere, so it’s more about which area needs the vertical garden the most. For example, some restricted spaces often benefit from vertical gardens; namely hallways, fences and side alleys.

Where you decide to put your vertical garden depends entirely on you. For example, if you have an ugly wall in your office that is an eyesore – put your vertical garden there. And if you want to partition off an area, without completely closing it off to the rest of the office, a vertical garden is the perfect solution!

Hiring Vertical Wall Gardens

Whether you’re organising a new office fit out or just want to spruce up the office a bit, hiring a vertical wall garden is a great option.

Purchasing one might seem like a good idea, but when you factor in the cost of purchasing plants, maintenance, transportation (especially if you decide to move) and replanting – you will soon realise that hiring vertical plants is a much more convenient and economical option.

Relax and Enjoy the Tranquility of Moss Walls

Moss walls are the latest trend in interior design and offer an alternative to the traditional ‘green walls’ and other office plants. This new concept not only creates an interest, but adds a unique style for harmony in the workplace and bringing the outdoors…in!

In today’s crowded cities with chaotic lifestyle, the digital world and constant mental chatter, the isolation from nature has never been so prominent.

The Moss perfectly fills the desire and need to be closer to nature. They are a stunning and relatively low-maintenance way to bring some beautiful nature into your office or work environment. The gentle Moss Wall Design soothes the inner sense. The natural look of the Moss carries universal timeless appeal.  

Though it’s a new trend for indoor spaces, Buddhist monks have been creating moss walls for centuries and used their healing powers to remedy many ailments. This explains the enchanted feeling and sense of cool tranquility, along with the sensation of being closer to nature.

In modern cities, where pollution and concrete structures surround us, Mosses persist in the forgotten spaces. Now they are able to be remembered…right there on your office wall! The best part is they can be installed practically anywhere and are completely custom made to suit. Although the science is not concluded, there is research going on in Europe to test if, like office plants, they also filter out the toxins from the air as they draw in moisture.

MOSS WALLS… AS EASY AS A, B, C

We all want instant impact and positive first impressions when clients are visiting our premises. Moss Walls are a WOW factor, low maintenance way to create amazing green walls in your workplace. They are eye-catching, interesting and textured to offer a realistic balance between the natural outdoors and the working space.  

Moss Walls are fast becoming as popular as living green walls yet are a cost-effective alternative. Because the moss is preserved, the wall requires very little maintenance and has longevity. There are some rules around this, and in this blog, we aim to give you a guide to making sure you get the most out of your Moss Wall.

1. Moss Walls require a minimum humidity level of 40%. If the humidity in an office space drops below 40%, the moss will require re-hydrating by a humidifier or light spritzing with water. This may be needed on a regular basis, however if the humidity in your office is too low, it could also be affecting the humans. Nothing technical here, just feeling the moss wall from time to time is an easy indicator of low humidity. Just as your eyes and skin can dry out in low humidity, so can the moss and it will feel a little dry to touch.
   
2. Moss, just like any interior wall, is susceptible to damage caused by humans. This could be an accident if something is scaped or knocked against the wall, or simply from people being too aggressive when touching it. The moss is 100% repairable and Green Design usually carry out repairs within 24-48 business hours form the time they are notified.
   
   
3. Moss can be installed in almost any area of your office; however harsh sunlight will cause colour fading and it is not for outdoor use. It is best to be installed in an interior position away from direct sunlight. Although lighting is not a requirement for the moss wall, adding lighting is essential to having the WOW factor and aesthetics you are looking for and should be factored into the initial budget.
