Benefits of Vertical Gardening

The gardens which grow vertically rather than spreading across the landscape are popularly known as vertical gardens. These allow the homeowners and renters to grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables in a small area of square footage. Vertical gardens may be either supported on purpose-built frames or posts or trained to grow up an existing fence avoiding the need of a big backyard. Vertical gardening can easily be done on a small strip of soil or even on a balcony.

The vertical gardens offer much more than just space saving, listed below are some benefits.

•        Protection: Acting as a “green wall” the vertical gardens help shield your home’s exterior against harsh weather conditions and ultraviolet rays. The vertical gardens not only offer an aesthetic appeal but also help in noise reduction.

•        Insulation and Natural Beauty: Vertical gardening provides insulation by increasing the energy efficiency of your house and office space. For people living in urban apartments or working in office cubicles, these gardens provide access to soothing natural beauty, necessary for mental health.

•         Shade and privacy: Apart from creating a lovely view in a crowded urban neighborhood, the vertical gardens shade the room from both strong sunlight and inquisitive passersby.

•         Indoor room divider: The green garden can work as an attractive room divider. Planting in wheeled containers will help in moving the divider or removing it altogether as per your requirements.

•         Air quality improvement: Adding plants inside your home improves the air quality. Live greenery absorbs indoor pollutants like formaldehyde and removes carbon dioxide.

•        Use of repurposed materials: The plants can be planted in unusual “pots” as old shoe organizers or recycled plastic bottles in vertical gardening.

•         Pest-proof and weed control:  Vertical gardens may be placed out of easy reach of animals, insects, and pests making the organic farming easier. Also weed control is easier in such gardens.

Growing upward is advantageous for the vegetation itself as the surface of the plants will get greater exposure to the sun and increased air circulation. Polyhouse and greenhouse farming are other popular modes of organic farming. Saveer Biotech Limited is one of the leading Polyhouse and GreenhouseSupplier in India.
