City life is full of energy, but it can also feel crowded with concrete and steel. A vertical garden is an easy way to bring nature into even the smallest space. It creates a refreshing balance to busy city life.
What Is a Vertical Garden?
A vertical garden is a creative way to grow plants upward. It uses walls, fences, or other vertical structures to add greenery without taking up ground space. This makes it perfect for small balconies, patios, or indoor areas.
Why Choose Vertical Gardens?
A vertical garden can improve both your home and the environment. Here’s how:
- Cleans the Air – Plants help absorb pollution and release oxygen.
- Reduces Noise – Green walls help block street noise, creating a quieter space.
- Supports Biodiversity – They provide habitats for various species, bringing nature closer to home.
- Cools Urban Spaces – Plants provide shade and help lower temperatures through natural cooling.
A Vertical Garden That Inspires: Bosco Verticale
The Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) in Milan is a great example of green architecture. This residential tower is covered in shrubs and trees, turning it into a living forest.
More than just beautiful, Bosco Verticale helps clean the air by absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen. Projects like this show that nature and architecture can coexist — even in the densest cities. With more green spaces, it may soon be possible to plant a Bios Urn® close to home, even without a traditional garden.
How to Start Your Own Vertical Garden
Starting a vertical garden is easier than you might think. Here’s how:
- Find the right spot – Choose a wall, fence, outdoor or indoor space with good sunlight exposure.
- Pick the best plants – Select plants suited for vertical growth. Ferns, ivy, succulents, and herbs are great beginner-friendly options.
- Water wisely – You can use self-watering planters or drip systems. Make sure your planters have drainage.
Bringing Nature Indoors: The Bios Incube® Lite
Everything began with just an idea—to turn cemeteries into forests. That idea became the Bios Urn®, a biodegradable urn designed to grow a tree from cremation ashes.
To enhance this experience, we created the Bios Incube® Lite. It is a planter designed for those who may not have the yard space to plant the Bios Urn® or the Bios Urn Pets®. Designed to fit any space the Bios Incube® Lite comes in five colors. Read more about the Bios Incube® Lite.
No matter how small your space is, there’s always room for nature. Start your vertical garden today and bring a little more greenery into your life!
