You Will Love The Living Walls Stamford Now Has

By James Roberts


If you live in Stamford Connecticut you have most likely noticed the latest craze that has swept the city. The key here lies in the development of the living walls Stamford feature. Many corporate companies have taken to the development of living walls to help create a unique and creative look for their premises, creating a 'wow factor' for any visitor that steps into their property.

While in some places creepers have been used to create vertical gardens, these gardens are unique in the fact that the plants actually grown from being rooted into the wall itself. This is done by attaching a porous material to the wall that can help to feed the plants roots. Seedlings are then planted into this material and nurtured to the point of growing into fantastic and beautiful art pieces.

Strong and sturdy wire frames are mounted onto what used to be a crumbly city wall and then piped with a porous like sponge material in which seedling plants can be planted. Care must be taken in the construction of these frames to ensure that the weight of the plants does not pull the feature away from the walls. If carefully constructed these frames can be very large in size and house a great number of plants.

There is a very wide variety of plants that can be planted into these walls. The key concern is to consider the root system that is used by the plants in question. A very deep tap root system is likely to penetrate a buildings structure and could potentially cause a fair amount of damage.

One of the most phenomenal features of these walls is in the way in which plants can be planted to create three dimensional artwork that is very pleasing to the eye. Some buildings have been seen to display company logos that have in actual fact been created by these virtual gardens. Others have preferred to create visual artwork that is symbolic of their company, or simply artwork that is designed to aesthetically beautify the working environment.

These gardens are being planted in many public places throughout the city in an attempt to create a sense of public pride in its people. The city is not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye as a result, but also in a sense closer to nature. This type of artwork brings new meaning to the concept of an urban jungle. Crowded city spaces become more tranquil as the city itself become a living organism in which its inhabitants live.

New inspiring job opportunities are developing with the development of this new art. A number of jobs have been created for the sake of the maintenance of these gardens as the gardens will need to be watered and cared for. Some have taken to calling themselves 'vertical landscapers' and have been in great demand as the desire for such gardens grows around the city.

This wondrous addition to the city is truly a fantastic and unique concept. Many people around the country are in fact talking about the living walls of Stamford. Hotel business has reportedly increased tremendously as a result of tourists who come to see the beauty of the city. This is truly a form of development that has done wonders for the city.
