Vertical Gardens, Lima

[marcorp]

Hello friends,

Have you heard of vertical gardens? In Lima, Peru, vertical gardens have become very popular, especially at the corporate level, restaurants, among others. Vertical gardens, also called green walls, have integrated air and irrigation systems installed that allow plants to grow well. They undoubtedly provide a beautiful aesthetic touch to those who use them and also reinforces the eco-friendly approaches that are trend nowadays worldwide. I think it´s important to point out that this trend is happening mostly in Lima, the capital of Peru. Peruvian Provinces have no adhere to this trend yet.

I am sharing 2 photos I took today (and that I published on Google Maps).

Hugs,
Marco … from PERU

Hi @marcorp ,

Vertical Gardens are becoming popular in Italy too, and some of my relatives are in this business, so I had the opportunity to follow this activity from the very beginning, 10 years ago.

It is amazing to see some green wall, like the two shared by you, mostly in Universities and conference centre, like the ones shared by you.

Vertical Green is also very requested on big villas, all around Italy.

BTW I will not share any photo, to avoid conflict of interest.

Hi @marcorp ,

very nice pictures (and gardens). Yes they are becoming more and more popular also across Europe, and as @ErmesT mentioned in Italy as well, very typical for big cities (such as Milan) or big villas.

This is a very interesting, and famous, one in Milan: Bosco Verticale.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for mentioning Bosco Verticale, @LuigiZ , even if the concept is totally different (I am quite an expert about the Green Vertical concept mentioned by @marcorp , as I gave a bit of technical support for developing the remote control for irrigation and fertilization).

I love the concept developed by Stefano Boeri, and I would love (I already asked, LOL) to have a first hand photo taken from the building in front of them.

You can find more about Bosco Verticale in this beautiful post by @Giuseppe75 , and in the photo by @Petra_M . Did you visited Google Italy too, Petra?

Thanks for asking @ErmesT , unfortunately I didn’t. Maybe next time :).

[LuigiZ]

Yep definitely @ErmesT , it is not the same concept but those beautiful photos did remind me that one, perhaps mind similarity LOL.

Oh I didn’t notice Google Italy building was just in front, thanks for spotting … then I’m with you, I would love that too :-).

Wuauu @marcorp !

Los jardines verticales se ven preciosos!!

Me encanta el colorido de las plantas elegidas: verdes , lilas y blancos. El contraste es bellisimo

Un abrazo desde el Sur de España,

Alejandra.

@AlejandraMaria gracias Ale! si, los jardines verticales se han convertido en tendencia pero solo en Lima, el resto del Perú es mucho más tradicional y menos vanguardista. Un abrazo desde Lima!
