Living green walls provide a multitude of benefits to those who own, work, and live among them. Green walls are beautiful, create habitat, promote health and well being, attract customers and can even provide sustenance.
A living wall offers numerous benefits at economic, ecological and societal levels. People are happier in a green environment than in grey surroundings.
