Is a Green Wall System Right for Your Office?

Green wall systems are an impressive leap forward in the growing of indoor plants. Because they take up almost no space, even small or maxed-out offices can house a green wall system. One look through a décor catalog or Pinterest page will show you that living walls are catching on—and with good reason.

What Are Green Wall Systems?

A green wall system is made up of a series of small planters embedded in a frame in multiple rows. Plants are potted in receptacles made of porous materials like felt to help control moisture. The frame is generally made of wood, although metal and recycled plastic units are becoming equally common. A green wall system may be freestanding or can be attached to indoor and even outdoor walls. Unless your clients include children or pets who might pull one down for fun, any office can house a green wall system.

How Are They Used?

Living walls can be filled with flowers, making for a stunning and impressive living work of art. They can also be used for plants that clean the air and increase oxygen levels, which means they’re great for reducing stress and staving off illnesses. Wall gardens on the outside of an office can control insects and provide shading, perhaps even impacting heating and cooling costs.

Where Do You Start?

A green wall system can be somewhat of an investment upfront, but it’s also possible for you or your staff to construct one from wooden pallets or other materials. You could even install your own irrigation system. However, this isn’t necessary since green walls work just as well when watered by hand.

While some plants aren’t well suited to a green wall system, many more work just fine. You can also purchase ready-made wall systems and have them installed for you.

With so many benefits, it’s easy to see why green wall system become more popular every season. For further information on these systems or having one installed, contact Natura at 1-888-284-2257 or fill in this form and we will be in touch.
