Wall Garden Project Presentation
Introduction
Welcome to the Wall Garden Project presentation. This project transforms a 60 feet long and 8 feet high cement wall into a vibrant, eco-friendly vertical garden. The wall is divided into 8 ft x 8 ft sections for a structured layout, featuring climbing vines and floor planters. This design enhances aesthetics, improves air quality, and provides a low-maintenance green space.
Design Plan
Wall Dimensions: 60 feet long x 8 feet high, divided into 7 sections of 8 ft x 8 ft each.
Climbing Vines: Positioned in each section to evenly cover the wall, ensuring a lush, green appearance.
Floor Planters: Placed along the base of the wall with 1.5 feet spacing between each planter for accessibility and optimal growth conditions. Each planter measures 3 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft.
The design focuses on a mix of vibrant colors, soothing fragrances, and air-purifying plants, creating a refreshing and sustainable environment.
