Vertical gardens provide economic, ecological and aesthetic benefits. They improve the air quality of built-up areas both inside and outside the home. Plants are natural filters; they remove carbon dioxide out of the air and replacing it with oxygen. They also help filter air pollutants. This means that the air you breathe is much cleaner and healthier
The plants act as bioscrubbers and can play a dramatic role in improving the air quality. This is achieved through a series of biochemical processes and decomposition of pollutants in the air inside and outside a building. When combined with the photosynthesis of the plant, which produces clean, oxygen-rich air, it is easy to see the value of using live plants as bioscrubbers in polluted urban environments.
Approximately 0.04 square inch of area of the green garden wall with vegetation filters the air of an office area measuring 46 square inches. Vertical gardens conserve water and irrigation takes less effort. One of the greatest benefits of vertical gardens is managing water usage. To begin with, irrigation is very efficient when it is done with a drip irrigation system or a hydroponic system.
Any waste water is collected in the lower part of the garden in a special tray where it is drained. Alternatively, it can be recycled and stored back in the garden. This means that practically all the water is consumed by the plants and there is very little waste. There is also runoff to rainwater systems so they run through natural channels not affected by pollutants that can be found in rainwater or wastewater.
The installation of vertical gardens can help increase property values. The plants reduce the speed of the wind and prevent the dust from circulating. A green wall reduces the temperature of the surface when it is coated with plants, reducing the temperature of the wall and the cooling of the building. Walls offered by Vertical Garden Installers in NYC can reduce the wall temperature as much as degrees Fahrenheit (°F). which results in significant air conditioning savings.
Plants reduce stress levels. Creating vertical gardens in a peaceful environment can boost the restorative effect of natural landscapes, which keeps the viewer absorbed. In turn, the garden wall helps relax the thoughts and induces a state of meditation.
The walls reduce psychological and physiological pressures of the city by providing a physical and spiritual connection with nature. The beauty of a green wall (concrete and deck steel) can rejuvenate the mind and physical fatigue is greatly reduced. The presence of plants in the office not only reduces stress, but also helps increase the productivity of workers.
