Greening of concrete jungle new fad

Vijayawada: Many garden lovers feel they do not have space to grow plants, and some people preferred roof gardens by arranging a variety of plants. With the apartment culture hitting every city and town, lack of space for greenery is the biggest problem. To overcome this problem, wall hanging gardens have come to their doorstep. 

People of the city who prefer hanging gardens find a solution in Pocket Vertical Living Planters (PVLP) to compensate traditional gardening. Several apartments, government office buildings, airport, parks, hotels and the new secretariat at Amaravati have their walls in green covered with PVLPs. The PVLP users are growing in the city proportionately with expanding concrete jungle. These PVLPs are the wall hangings with pockets, which can carry the pot with mud and the plants too. The horticulture or the vegetable plants can also be grown easily in PVLPs.

Interior gardening organisation Ghar Sansthan’s representative Satish Agarwal said that the plants were developed to grow vertically. “The shelves are designed to carry the plants, and can be moved from one place to another easily and these PVLPs are eco friendly. A minimum of two plants to 30 plus plants can be grown. There are horizontal planters also in the market. These are useful to grow the plants which gives beauty and pleasance to the houses, though there is no place,” he added.
