Building DIY Gardening

Vertical garden or green wall spotted in Fulham, near Chelsea Football Club Stamford Bridge stadium – for sale if you interested!

How is this watered? It looks expensive, as befits the area (Fulham). Not sure how much oxygen and pollution cleansing this wall might do but it looks very nice amongst the urban sprawl.

We have a big green building section here so why not check it out? See the menu for navigation.

Perhaps you could build a green wall at your home or workplace? Many offices are adding green areas to the flat tops of their buildings, which is a lot easier and less expensive, and can promote well-being for the staff who get involved, as well as helping the environment. It might seem small, but if many do it, it can add up in the same way normal gardens in cities provide a very varied habitat for many animals and plants, more so that the country side which is often farming monocultures e.g. wheat, soy etc. Could grow salads for lunch, it doesn’t have to be anything major, or just pretty flowers for rest and recuperation.
