green walls

Vertical planted surfaces

Green walls are vertical surfaces covered with living plants, typically installed on building exteriors or interiors.

Also called living walls or vertical gardens, they incorporate irrigation systems to sustain vegetation on structures where plants wouldn't naturally grow.

Green walls serve aesthetic purposes and may improve air quality or building insulation: The office lobby features a green wall of ferns and moss.
