Vertical garden boxes: better for environment and health
Climate problems, an environment increasingly unnatural with concrete and pavement, which can absorb heat and water poorly. We rightly worry about the environment. However, you can contribute to improvement yourself in a very simple way. You can do this by greening a bare wall of your garden or home with vertical garden boxes. The effect is beautiful and the plants are good for body and mind!
The benefits of vertical gardens
A vertical garden system with a mounting panel can be assembled very easily by one person. In addition to environmental benefits, vertical garden boxes also have beneficial effects on health. In fact, increasing the amount of plants in the living environment increases mental well-being and reduces sickness absence. In addition, plants muffle noise, absorb water and heat, and purify the air of CO2. Finally, they increase biodiversity.
Plants suitable for a vertical garden
For a vertical garden, you need plants that do not root too deeply. If you use vertical garden containers in the house, it is a good idea to use plants that purify the air. Think aloe vera and ferns. It is also nice to include herbs in the containers. If you place the vertical containers in your garden, the office garden or on your balcony, strawberry plants and lettuce do well in the sun, while ornamental nettles and purplebells fit well in a spot of semi-shade. In the shade, plants like hostas, grasses and ferns are in their element. If you like to repel ants or mosquitoes, herbal plants such as basil and rosemary are a good idea.
