Vertical Gardens

A living wall, also referred to as a green wall, vertical garden, or sky farm, is usually part of a building and consists of vegetation. These types of gardens are sometimes referred to as urban gardening, because they are well-suited for an urban environment where space on the ground is very limited but vertical space is plentiful.
