The school received an environmental subsidy of NT $220,000 two years ago to plant large Dumbo flowers to form a green wall, which helps to cool down the temperature and purify the air, and also to install an automatic sprinkler system to maintain the ecology of the green wall.
According to the Environmental Protection Bureau of Chiayi City Government, since 2019, the Environmental Protection Department has promoted the vertical air green wall project. Since 2019, three schools, including Xingjia, Jiabei Elementary School and Jiabei Elementary School, have installed climbing plants on the school's daughter wall and the balcony of the classroom.
The Environmental Protection Bureau of the Chiayi Municipal Government said that this year, the Environmental Protection Agency expanded the target of subsidies, in addition to the original subsidies of public middle school, public elementary school, public preschool institutions, public welfare groups, public facilities, environmental protection night market, civic activity center and other venues, air green wall subsidies of 3,000 to 6,000 yuan per square meter, single subsidy ceiling of 400,000 yuan.
According to the Municipal Environmental Protection Agency, according to the results of the study, vertical green walls can reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), suspended particulates (PM10) by about 40% and 60%, but also reduce the concentration of indoor fine suspended particulates (PM2.5) by about 10%, ozone by about 30%, and indoor temperature reduction by about 1.8 ℃.
According to the city's Environmental Protection Bureau, the appropriate plant types are lily bamboo, firecracker red, Yunnan yellow carnation, turtle, Boston kidney fern, hydrangea, African pansy or panthera, and can be selected according to the space planning and installation requirements, so that the space is more beautiful.

Anti-aging _ Green environment helps fight cognitive impairment
Share:
Decreased cognitive function is an inevitable phenomenon of aging. If the function decline is serious, it can form cognitive impairment, which has a serious impact on daily life.
A study in the United States has found that increasing greening equipment in residential areas can help reduce depression in middle-aged women, thereby improving their cognitive function and helping to prevent the occurrence of cognitive impairment.
Antidepressant as main cause
The study, led by the Boston University School of Public Health, analyzed data from nearly 13,600 women with an average age of 61 between 2014 and 2016, including mental activity speed, attention, learning and working memory.
After adjusting for factors such as age, ethnicity and economic conditions, it was found that the amount of green environment near home was related to mental activity speed and attention, while learning or working memory was not affected.
The study also found that the main reason why greening improves cognitive function is its antidepressant effect.
The study was published in JAMA Network Open.
Good for mental health
The study author Dr.
Marcia Pescador Jimenez points out that nature ’ s health benefits are mainly to help us relieve psychological stress, and that being outdoors and interacting with people are good for mental health.
This study provides further evidence that greening helps maintain cognitive function and can be used as a justification for expanding urban greening.
Researchers are conducting research using deep learning algorithms and streetscape images to understand which plant species can bring greater health benefits.

These five plants grow on the balcony and will survive if you go on vacation
Bilim Elena
If you love houseplants, but do not always have the time or the ability to water them regularly, there are many beautiful species that perfectly adapt to a dry climate and do not require frequent moistening.
These plants tend to have dense leaves, fleshy stems, or other features that allow them to retain moisture for a long time, writes Santeplusmag.

Here are 5 great plant options for your balcony:
1.
Sansevieria (mother-in-law 's tongue, pike' s tail)
This hardy plant is known for its vertical, sharp leaves that come in different shades of green, yellow and gray.
Sansevieria tolerates drought perfectly, because its leaves serve as reservoirs for water.
A bright, indirect light suits her, but it can also survive in the shade.
Sansevieria should be watered only when the soil is completely dry.
2.
Bamboo
This exotic plant not only looks elegant, but also very unpretentious in care.
Bamboo can grow in pots on the balcony, where it will be enough 20 ° C of heat and protection from drafts.
Water bamboo should be moderately, giving the soil a little dry between watering.
3.
Succulents
This vast group of plants combines many species that have adapted to life in arid conditions.
Succulents have fleshy leaves or stems that store water.
They need well-drained soil and moderate watering – only when the soil is completely dry.
Succulents come in many shapes, sizes and colors, so you are sure to find the look you like.
4.
Agava
This ornamental plant with a rosette of spiny leaves is not only beautiful, but also resistant to heat and drought.
Agave can be left without watering for several days, even if you go on vacation.
She loves a sunny place, but can grow in partial shade.
Agave does not tolerate frost, so in winter it must be protected from the cold.
5.
Cactus
This classic choice for houseplant lovers is known for its stamina.
Cacti come in many shapes, sizes and colors, but they have one thing in common: they perfectly retain water in their fleshy stems.
In summer, cacti need minimal watering, and in winter they can be left almost without water.
These plants love sunlight, but they need to be protected from the hot midday sun.
With these unpretentious plants, you can create a beautiful and cozy corner on your balcony, without spending a lot of time and effort on care.

How to turn a roof into a garden – successfully

By Megan Backhouse

To look at Andy Beales digging up Jerusalem artichokes and weeding around kale you wouldn’t think he was pushing boundaries. Like any sensible food grower he is shredding garden waste to speed up his composting and laying down straw to encourage worms. His shovel and wheelbarrow sit at the ready. But here’s the thing that I haven’t yet mentioned: he is on a roof – the roof of a suburban shopping centre, no less.

“It’s not like a normal farm where you can just whack in a star picket to make a climbing frame for your tomatoes,” Beales says. “If you want to bring in a cubic metre of compost, you’ve first got to think about the capacity of your goods lift.”

A normal farm this Burwood Brickworks rooftop might not be but it is a sign of what farms might yet become. As for what public parks might become, look no further than the manicured shrubs and timber day beds nestled in the sky between office towers in Collins Street. At the “Skypark”, the lawn is so green and so perfectly uniform that, when I visited this week, I had to touch it to check it was real.

Both these green roofs are mentioned in the new Maintenance Guidelines For Australian Green Roofs, which refocus our attention on an age-old idea that, after about a decade of active research, is starting to get a new foothold in Melbourne.

In the face of climate change, the biodiversity emergency and increasing urban density, green roofs can help make cities less destructive and more climate-resilient. They are cooling and biodiversity increasing. They reduce stormwater run-off, improve air quality and provide people with the pure pleasure of vegetation.

But only if they are well managed. Ignore them and they are doomed to failure. You might say this is true of every garden. But it is especially the case with landscapes on roofs, where almost nothing comes about by chance.

Green roofs are engineered “systems” with specially designed waterproofing, protection and drainage layers. The plants are growing in carefully concocted substrates applied at specific depths. The plants themselves are chosen to ensure they can cope with conditions off the ground.

The new maintenance guidelines, written by the University of Melbourne’s John Rayner, Elspeth Lumsden and Rachael Bathgate, detail how to manage all this in the local climate.

They discuss the need for safe access, for ensuring all the different green roof layers remain intact and for managing effective irrigation and drainage. They emphasise the importance of understanding how plants – including weeds – behave differently on roofs compared to the ground.

Some of this is as simple as maintaining adequate substrate depth and not using hand tools with sharp points or edges that might pierce underlying layers. Some things – like cutting back plants that start to overly dominate – are similar to what you would do on the ground. But other tasks, such as removing woody weeds that develop potentially damaging taproots, can take on new urgency.

The key is to nail down how you will tend the roof from when it is first being designed, and then to stick to the schedule and also monitor the space regularly. While the guidelines, which can be downloaded for free, are largely aimed at those in planning, design, maintenance and management roles, they are relevant for anyone thinking about installing vegetation on the roof of their own home.

Although there have always been enthusiasts like Brod Street, who, about a decade ago conducted his own research and installed a beguiling grassland on top of his 1890s Hawthorn brick cottage – then added a successful “wetland” in 2019 and then a high-yielding vegetable patch on top of his backyard shed in January this year – there are lots of potential pitfalls for the uninitiated.

Even for the experienced some green roofs are easier to manage than others. The guidelines detail how much more care is required for the sort of productive roof currently being tended by Beales at the Burwood Brickworks, for example, compared with a lightweight, restricted-access one predominantly composed of low-growing succulents. To guarantee success, it’s crucial to tailor the maintenance plan to the site.

“There have been some really sad disasters around Melbourne,” Rayner says. “I am a fan of green roofs but I am a fan of successful green roofs. There is no point installing these things if they are not going to be sustained successfully. These are living landscapes that need maintenance planned into their design and management.”

Cultivation of balconies and houses from the inside, things used to housewives old to do, perhaps to benefit from the aesthetic view, or even improve the air and inhalation process, or to benefit from its production, it was and still agriculture balconies and inside the house of important and healthy things that can be done by women, as well as improve the psychological state not only for their aesthetic appearance, but for their sense of achievement with the first cut Every farm. ”
With the launch of the presidential initiative "Prepare for the Green", many housewives, who were occupied by the wheel of life, returned to return to agriculture at home and in the balconies, but many of them make mistakes in agriculture, innumerable, and some of them may not know the best and easiest species to cultivate, and benefit from them.
5 tips for women when planting at home and balconies
In this regard, he makes several tips for women when planting at home, according to Dalia Salem, a decorator who specializes in indoor farming.
Soil
Salem stressed that choosing the type of good soil is the most important element for the success of plants, but it varies according to the needs of the plant for the type of soil, for example: “The soil suitable for cacti and succulents is different in its components from the soil suitable for tropical plants, and from the soil suitable for seed germination. ”
In addition to choosing clean soil, it is not tolerant of any diseases and it is not preferable to use soil where a previous plant died.
Planting Pot
Choosing the right pot for the plant is one of the basic elements in agriculture, especially since the size of the pot must be appropriate, as well as making sure that there are holes with at least 5 holes.
Plant Selection
Choose plants that are suitable for the season and current weather (annuals) or seasonal to preserve them.
Air currents
Dalia Salem warned of manufactured air currents, whether cold or hot coming from the fan, heaters and air conditioners because they reduce the moisture around the plant and lead to its drying.
Growing more than one plant in one pot
Growing more than one plant in a pot side by side in the ground is a common mistake because of the different type of care of each plant, there are plants that need to be irrigated abundantly, and others for the sun, and others.
Favourite plants to grow inside the house or balconies
And about the plants that the housewife can grow on the balcony or inside the house, and benefit from them, Engineer Dalia Salem, went to the plants made of spices used by housewives in the kitchen, especially mint, basil, thyme, rosemary, and laura leaf.

Garden Q&A: How does climate change impact planting and growing?

Q: I’m interested in learning more about climate-wise gardening. Are there ways to make our plantings more resilient? Should we be gardening differently?

A: Climate change will have varied impacts on how we garden, including optimal plant choice, anticipated pest, disease, and weed challenges, and a realignment of our expectations of landscape appearance and performance.

Advertisement

Plant choice is something we have more direct control over. Use locally-sourced native species when possible, as they have proven themselves to be adaptable to what climate change (and the stresses of urban development that surrounds them) has already thrown at them. Plant populations to our south (Virginia) can also be useful for their greater heat tolerance. Our webpage “Native Plants and Climate Change” provides more detail.

Zone-pushing, which uses plants that are barely winter-hardy here now in consideration of the eventual warming or shortening of our winters, is less of a risky experiment as we update our gardens. Make sure species chosen have not shown invasive tendencies, however; aggressive species native further south might wreak havoc here if not kept in check by competition from thriving local flora.

Meanwhile, some of our adored plants will probably have to be left to our northern neighbors because they already struggle with our heat, like common lilac, spruce, and rhubarb. Until then, our expectations of how well these plants look and perform in our gardens should be tempered with a healthy dose of “well…at least it’s still alive.” Or better yet, replace them with something that will need less life support from the gardener.

In terms of avoiding pest or disease outbreaks, the recommended best practices are unchanged: diversity in the garden is key. A wider range of plant resources and habitat variety means you’ll attract a wider array of beneficial organisms that keep pests at bay. Competition in the web of life is everywhere, even between microbes like fungi and bacteria; what we want is to have the beneficial species out-compete the pathogens. We aid them in this endeavor by keeping the soil healthy, limiting pesticide use, and minimizing plant stress by selecting the right plant for the right place. Plus, disease damage is more easily limited when fewer vulnerable host plants are clustered together. Aesthetics and our wallets suffer less when we lose one plant out of a mixed-species planting versus a whole hedge of the same cultivar.

Lastly — you’ve seen the memes and you’ve probably heard all of the arguments, but I’ll say it again — we really need to stop cultivating so much lawn in our yards and public spaces. Yes, turf has its uses, but when not needed for high-traffic play spaces, our yards should contain more plantings of just about anything else site-appropriate. Lawn takes a lot of inputs to keep it looking good, and when it doesn’t look good, wouldn’t an easier alternative make more sense? Even when maintained in a pollution-limiting manner, lawns offer little to biodiversity. Maryland’s location in the transition zone — where neither cool-season nor warm-season turfgrasses thrive year-round — means that the outlook isn’t good for lawn care getting any easier as climate change throws us more curveballs of abnormal weather.

You can keep up with current advice as we populate our new “Climate-Resilient Gardening” resource tag on the HGIC website. Current content includes information on the basics of climate change and approaches to sustainable gardening.

Q: I have a blooming bromeliad whose flowers are just about spent. What should I expect from it afterward? Is it going to die?

A: Sort of — part will die but it will also reproduce. The “mother” plant, the one that’s blooming now, will gradually decline over several months, with the colorful bloom dying back first. Meanwhile, if the plant was growing well before it bloomed, it’s redirecting energy into producing offsets. These are clones of itself that grow on short stems (stolons) emerging from the base of the plant, and in the bromeliad family these offsets are also commonly called “pups.”

When large enough (about a third to half of the parent plant’s size), a pup’s stolon can be cut from the mother plant and the new plant grown separately, though there is no harm in leaving them attached if you prefer. (Though eventually they may make the entire cluster tippy since the weight distribution will change as they grow and hold water. An interconnected colony of bromeliad generations is unwieldy but impressive to see.) As they mature, this second generation will bloom in due time, and then the process will repeat itself.

Garden Mastery: Former landfill now bounded by a waterwise demonstration garden

Paradise Hills group converts land loop into native-plant showcase

Share

Loss of wild habitat drives climate change and degrades biodiversity. Gardeners, landowners and informed volunteers have important opportunities to be an antidote. This is the story of one such opportunity in a San Diego bedroom community.

First, a little backstory:

The relatively small mid-1960s landfill that is now part of Paradise Hills Community Park was the site of attempts to create turf grass recreational fields as recently as the early 1980s. Irrigation created ponding problems.

Advertisement

The growth of consumerism and its discarded waste are an inheritance from the Second Industrial Revolution, the world of the boomer generation’s grandparents, and the Third Industrial Revolution, the world in which America’s baby boomers grew from youth into middle age. Science-based law has only recently caught up with our trash. The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was aspirational, and waste-treatment law didn’t involve action until October 1976. That action? The U.S. Congress encouraged states to develop comprehensive plans for waste treatment. More aspiration.

In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was granted powers to establish regulatory guidelines and best practices for waste sites. Irrigation systems were no longer used as treatment elements for covered landfill surfaces.

The EPA today primarily endorses revegetation of covered landfills with plants native to the area and, by extension, native to the area’s climate. Native plant species adapted to our climatic conditions may thrive without supplemental irrigation systems. In addition, native plants support native bees, butterflies and birds.

With much of this knowledge in hand, in 2017, Paradise Hills community residents proposed the creation of a native-plant demonstration garden around the perimeter of the old Paradise landfill. The garden would feature native plants that could quickly be established through hand watering, and that would flourish without a proscribed irrigation system. The City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department cautiously expressed interest in the idea but said the city did not have budgeted resources available to create and maintain the proposed garden. Within specified parameters, the city could “greenlight” the project, but the funding and labor would have to come from another source. The site’s topography and hydrology could not be significantly altered, and all digging would involve monitoring for landfill gas (LFG). Happily, extensive monitoring found no LFG, and none has been detected by Environmental Services monitoring in recent years. With the parameters specified, the challenge of funding remained.

In 2019, the individuals who had presented the proposal to the city formed a nonprofit group, Paradise Gardeners, a California Garden Clubs Inc. member group, and began to fund the project, Paradise Hills Native Garden, primarily by seeking grants. By this time, several of these individuals had graduated from the University of California Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardener Program, and some of the funding came from the Master Gardener Association of San Diego County.

The garden’s initial “shovel to soil” happened in September of 2020, when Engelmann oaks were planted in the site’s parking area. Today, the xeric demonstration garden encompasses roughly 2 acres, nearly surrounding the covered landfill. The garden includes hundreds of native plants as well as interpretive signage, added paths for walking or running, boulders and benches. Climate-ready plants have been selected for their ability to thrive on winter rains and long, dry summers. To varying degrees, many of these perennial native plants experience dormancies through dry periods; others are evergreen.

The demonstration garden is composed of constituent garden areas, a pollinator garden, a rustic Western garden that includes a stand of young coast live oaks outside the old landfill perimeter, and an ethnobotany garden that educates visitors on the ways the area’s first peoples, the Kumeyaay, used native flora for food, medicines, tools, fuel, materials and cultural activities.

People visiting the garden for the first time should walk the entire loop through the constituent gardens, as they have slightly different themes and may be in varying degrees of seasonal vigor. Walking through the entire garden is a ¼- or ⅓-mile loop, dependent on which pathways are taken.

This winter’s parades of atmospheric rivers flooded the pollinator and butterfly gardens — in one 38-hour span, the site received nearly 5 inches of rain — damaging pathways and killing many natives that cannot endure “wet feet.” Mitigation has involved improved surface drainage and planting strategies in affected areas. The Western garden and most of the ethnobotany areas handled the deluges well, with minimal damage. These parts of the garden have been showcases for spring flowers: poppy, lupine, sage, giant coreopsis, flannelbush, ceanothus and opuntia.

The center area of the former landfill currently remains unimproved, but there are ongoing discussions about potential usages that would not involve irrigation. There are also discussions about developing a loop trail of slightly more than 1 mile in the canyon preserve abutting the native garden to the west.

Paradise Hills Native Garden is now a Master Gardener Demonstration Garden, and Paradise Gardeners invites allied groups and interested community members to volunteer during scheduled workdays, or to walk the gardens and learn more about waterwise, native-habitat gardening. Immediately adjacent to the south fork of Paradise Creek, the garden is an eBird Hotspot and a Monarch Waystation. It is located at 6800 Potomac St.

Loading admin actions …
Decorating with flowers is perhaps the most popular method of decorating the premises and garden.
The variety of colors in color, shape and size is simply innumerable.
There are also a variety of ways to decorate flowers.
A hedge of flowers, bright flower arrangements or bouquets in a nice vase - these and many other ideas can arise if you decide to decorate your home with flowers.
Let ’ s look at how we can decorate our home with flowers.
Winter garden
Sometimes it is so desirable that summer always reigns around us, evergreen plants grow and bright sun shines.
But the climatic conditions of our country, contrary to our wishes, suggest a smaller number of warm sunny days.
In any case, this is not a reason for frustration, because it is not in vain that winter gardens have been specially built in the premises for a long time.
For some, the winter garden is a composition of large plants in the corner of the hall or living room.
Of course, the collection of your favorite plants on the windowsill is your miniature winter garden.
But speaking the language of designers, a winter garden is much more difficult.
It requires a separate room, for example, a special room or glazed and insulated loggia.
It should be borne in mind that the arrangement of a full-fledged winter garden will require compliance with a number of conditions important for its existence: this is the humidity of the air, and the presence of a sufficient amount of sunlight, as well as the appropriateness and compatibility of the plants themselves.
Vertical gardening
Vertical landscaping, installation completed
RaStenia
Fashionable vertical gardening in the favorites of interior designers.
Such a living wall decorates the walls of solid offices, fashionable restaurants and has long taken root in the interiors of many apartments and houses.
The most spectacular flowers on the wall look in the living room, where they can take up more space.
No less harmonious it can look in the bathroom, giving the feeling of a tropical jungle, and in the bedroom, pacifying and giving fresh air for a comfortable sleep.
Vertical gardening is possible
Live flowers
An indispensable attribute of floral decor in the house are fresh flowers, or bouquets.
This method of decorating the house has its advantages:
- Firstly, you can always change the variety of colors of your bouquets;
- secondly, decorative bouquets smell nice and are able to give a chic fresh aroma;
- Thirdly, they do not require care in case you do not have the desire or opportunity to care for the flowers in the pots.
However, this method of decoration has its drawbacks: ripped flowers do not live long, which causes them to be sufficiently expensive for permanent use.
Flower decor as a continuation of the interior style
Flowers can be effectively used in the continuation of the style of the room.
Take for example vases, the widest selection of which is presented in the modern market.
And for each style, there is undoubtedly its own.
Fill it with your favorite colors and the interior of your home will sparkle with new colors.
Flowers in pots
Flowers in pots are perhaps the basic and simplest element of floral decor in the house.
Here everything depends on the individual preferences of the owner, and the modern market will definitely be able to offer flowers for every taste and budget.
In addition, a separate element of the decor can be considered flower pots, the choice of which is also infinitely large.
With a thoughtful selection, they will help add colors to evergreen plants and, conversely, dilute the brightness of abundantly flowering plants.
Separately, the types of flower pots are described in the article What are flower pots.
Flower arrangement in a pot
Creating compositions from plants in one pot is simple and at the same time original and creative.
To do this, it is enough to take several plants of different appearance and size and a large pot.
Fill the pot with expanded clay to half, and put the selected plants so that they do not protrude above the level of the pot.
Voids need to be filled with expanded clay, small stones or a ground-sand mixture.
It is important to remember that when choosing flowering indoor plants, they must be in harmony with the tones of curtains, upholstery, bedspreads and other textiles.
And the main thing to remember that flowers require care, only then, they will not only decorate the room, but also recreate a cozy atmosphere of warmth and life in your home.

Studio Vural, who conceived the “Lilly tower, ” says the shape of the building is like a terraced field in some parts of Asia, one of the most extreme examples of the use of land, where every inch of fertile soil is important, and the skyscraper next to Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan is expected to bring a hint of green to the sky.
The Lilly building will be made of three layers of glass and partially covered with vegetation. The planting system will be made of light concrete supported by steel frames. It is a plant that can grow well in both soil and acidity. It will wither the plant if it is well drained.
The flowers are red, yellow, and orange, meaning that in the spring New York will see a field of flowers in skyscrapers, and may be very appetizing to urban gardeners, who are now more and more in the city.
However, combining the building with plants is not only a beautiful function, in addition to beautiful flower fields and contributing to the good urban air, it is also a low-energy design, natural insulation can allow the building to reduce the internal consumption of the climate, in addition, Lilly Building is also a passive building, using a small amount of energy to maintain a comfortable internal environment.
The heat of the sun will flow through the large glass, and the fresh air will enter through the open windows of the residential section.
Heating and cooling will be provided by the geothermal system, the heat exchanger helps to minimize energy loss, and the plants on the outer walls provide heat preservation and insulation. According to the design, the building has 21 floors for commercial space and 18 floors for residential use.
In any case, we all welcome the emergence of more energy-efficient, sustainable skyscrapers, not to mention lilies in the spring, and beautiful greenery in other seasons to breathe for the people of the city.

The Social Housing and Real Estate Finance Support Fund aims to build 25,000 green housing units within two years in six cities: the Capital Gardens, New Obour, New October, 10th of Ramadan, New Aswan and Hurghada, according to the Fund ’ s CEO, Mai Abdul Hamid.
In statements to the African Union Conference on Housing, Mai confirmed the start of the implementation of a first set of green buildings in the city of Gardens of the capital, by a thousand units, explaining that it is an experimental model followed by a measurement of the impact of these units on the environment and energy saving in preparation for its dissemination, and adjustments, in the rest of the targeted sites.
The conference, which took place in Cairo a few days ago, witnessed the announcement that the “Green Architecture ” initiative, implemented by the Social Housing Fund, received the“ SHARKROOM ” award for the best innovations and initiatives in the field of housing across the continent, after competing with nine initiatives.
Green architecture reduces energy consumption by 24-50 per cent, carbon emissions by 33-39 per cent, water consumption by up to 40 per cent and solid waste by 70 per cent.
As for the specifications of the green building, Dr. Abbas Al-Zafrani, professor of environmental sustainability and urban planning at Cairo University, explained to Al-Shorouk that it provides energy during the construction and establishment process so that it does not use materials whose production consumes energy intensive, such as relying on red bricks instead of cement bricks.
He explained that the building saves energy consumption during living in it, instead of using aluminum and glass nets to store the sun throughout the day and the use of air conditioners later to discharge its heat, which consumes large energy and emits carbon emissions, can use a window of wood and an umbrella so the residence remains comfortable enough fan to moisturize it.
Zafarani added that the green building also conserves water, not using too much water, and reuses waste water to irrigate nearby gardens instead of pressuring utility networks.
The green building also does not dispose of rainwater in the sewage system, but rather stores it for reuse or for irrigation of gardens.
On the chances of its success in Egypt, he said: « Our old houses were mostly green, so you find the outer wall of the house within 25 centimeters and the windows are shish and glass and not aluminum, as they exist and successful ».
Al-Zafrani points out that the belief that green architecture needs higher expenses than ordinary architecture is not necessarily true, the most important thing from his point of view is to choose the right tools, explaining: "I can make very expensive window of double and triple glass and reflective layers of heat and pay per meter 5 thousand pounds, and I can make ordinary window shish and glass at a cheaper cost, and gives us almost the same result."
In turn, Dr. Hind Farouh, Professor of Environment and Sustainable Urban Development at the National Center for Housing and Building Research, said that the green architecture project takes into account the wind direction and ways to reduce heat, including the percentages of openings in the facades, and takes into account the energy efficiency code, and the reuse of gray water in the irrigation of gardens.
In a video about the project posted on YouTube by the Social Housing Fund, Farouh added: “It also relies on solar energy to feed services, and the thickness of the walls in the buildings is 25 centimeters, with the use of building materials that reduce heat transfer. ”

Nederland ’ s “Vertical Forest ” social housing combines environmental protection and aesthetics to enhance the quality of life
by Cecilia
/ 2021.10.17
Housing problems, land problems, property slavery, and high property prices have all become symbols of Hong Kong, and it is common for overseas places to have high-quality public housing or social housing, and in the Netherlands, Einhaven has just completed a "vertical forest" social housing covered with plants, which combines greenery, environmental protection and aesthetics.
Photo by Stefano Boeri Architetti
Designed by Italian architecture studio Stefano Boeri Architetti, the social house in Yanhaofen, Netherlands, known as the Trudo Vertical Forest, is 18 stories high and 70 meters tall and has 125 units. The balcony protruding between each unit has different width, height and depth.
Low-income people and young people starting families can improve living conditions even for citizens who can ’ t afford private housing, and apply the concept of urban afforestation as a possibility to improve the urban environment and cope with climate change.

Trudo Vertical Forest uses white as the main color overall, and is surrounded by solar reflective glass bars, the planting balcony is equipped with sensors to monitor the hydration and nutrient levels of the soil, even the novice planting do not have to worry.
Don ’ t underestimate the amount of plants in a single building that can absorb more than 50 tons of carbon dioxide and emit more than 13 tons of oxygen each year. It makes sense to call it a “vertical forest ”.
Solar panels on the roof provide some of the energy consumed by the building, while reservoirs and rainwater harvesting systems are installed to irrigate the plants.

In terms of indoor environment, each 50 square meters (about 538 square feet) unit can be reconfigured according to people, and the floor height is at least 3.5 meters. Although foreigners are relatively tall, they are also full of space.
Each unit has its own balcony, each with a tree and 20 shrubs.
The design takes into account the doubling of the weight and size of each plant ’ s life cycle, and there is a dedicated gardener to take care of it, who does not enter the house, but hangs down outside the building to maintain and trim the plants.
This is not the first time that the concept of “vertical forest ” has been heard, and it has been implemented around the world. However, this time, as a social housing, it is also a big attraction, and I hope to see it in Hong Kong one day.

Delhi: Vertical gardens drain crores, droop

Meanwhile, the RTI response also showed that the Corporation has not conducted any study about whether these gardens help in controlling pollution.

Published: 17th May 2022 08:02 AM  |   Last Updated: 17th May 2022 08:02 AM   |  A+A-

Express News Service

NEW DELHI:  The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has spent over Rs 5 crore from 2017 to 2022 on vertical gardens, the response to a Right to Information (RTI) Act query filed by an advocate revealed. Most of the vertical gardens have now dried up in the absence of due care.

The situation is especially bad in East Delhi. As per the RTI query filed by Siddhartha Malkania, the Municipal Corporation (East) spent more than Rs 1.51 crore on the plantation and management of seven vertical gardens in Shahdara zone, and most of them are in poor state. EMCD also installed a vertical garden for Rs 1.66 crore at a primary school in Mayur Vihar Pocket 4. When the Morning Standard visited this school, the garden was found in bad shape.

Meanwhile, the RTI response also showed that the Corporation has not conducted any study about whether these gardens help in controlling pollution. The Municipal Corporation (North) refused to provide the amount spent on vertical gardens but stated that it has installed 27 of them. “This information is voluminous and is readily not available,” the NDMC said in response.

The Municipal Corporation (South) fared better, with the gardens found in healthier conditions. A total of 10 vertical gardens have been installed by the corporation since 2017, at a cost of more than `2.40 crore. The civic body said that though the life of these vertical gardens has expired, 70 percent greenery still exists.

According to Vikrant Tongad, founder, Social Action for Forest and Environment, these types of gardens are not suitable for Indian weather and instead add to plastic pollution. “We opposed it with strong reasons. The weather in Delhi NCR doesn’t support vertical gardens,” Tongad said. “It is successful in European countries. They look visually appealing here but have no environmental value. The carrier is plastic, which releases more pollutant gases and is carcinogenic.”

Tongad added that people also pilfer the plastic boxes in which the plants are grown. “Many cases of the plants being stolen have been reported. This is wastage of public money,” he said. The Morning Standard tried to get in touch with the EDMC and NDMC officials, but got no response.

South civic body fares better than others
The Municipal Corporation (South) fared better, with the gardens found in healthier conditions. A total of 10 vertical gardens were installed, at a cost of more than Rs 2.40 crore.

Content: It has been more than two years since the city implemented the “Measures to Encourage the Installation and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities ”, and as of July this year, a total of 88 applications have been approved and 63 have been approved.
Taichung Metropolitan Bureau of Development Huang Wenbin said today that the construction base generated a total of 56,831.81 tons of carbon sequestration, an increase of 1,813 trees, with Wenxin Forest Park accounting for about 1,500 trees, which is equivalent to the creation of 1.2 Wenxin Forest Park.
The Taichung City Government has implemented the “Measures for Encouraging the Establishment and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities in Taichung City ” to encourage builders to set up“ Vertical Greening ” and “Vertical Neighborhood Space ” and other liveable building facilities.
For the flexibility of the design of the multi-storey terrace in the neighborhood, at least a certain scale of community common space, close the relationship between the residents of the community, and also regulate the planting of trees of a certain size and suitable for growth and management and maintenance of the space, to confirm that it can grow thick and increase the proportion of urban greening.
As of the end of July this year, there have been a total of 88 applications, 63 have been approved, and the construction base has generated a total of 56,831.81 tons of carbon sequestration. A total of 1,813 trees have been added. Take Wenxin Forest Park, which has about 1,500 trees, for example, to create 1.2 Wenxin Forest Park. The amount of carbon sequestration is equivalent to adding more than 90 small community neighborhood parks, which not only beautify the urban environment but also improve the quality of the living environment.
According to the Taichung Metropolitan Development Bureau, urban greening can alleviate the heat island effect in the city, and can also help to adsorb pollutants in the air and reduce PM2.5.

Content: More construction owners apply for subsidies to increase the garden high-rise green space area doubled in 10 years
Font Size:
Our high-rise green space has increased significantly, more than doubling in size over the past 10 years, from 60 hectares in 2013 to 155 hectares.
In addition to more new builders incorporating high-rise green spaces or rooftop gardens into their blueprints, more and more owners of older buildings are applying to the National Park Service for subsidies to add or convert their roofs into green spaces.
In an interview with the Lianhe Zaobao, the senior director of the National Park Service's landscaping department, Sophie Ann, revealed that since 2009, about 300 projects have applied for grants for high-rise green spaces or vertical landscaping.
Owners who receive the allowance must ensure that the green space of the tall building is maintained for at least five years.
According to the Park Service, only five applicants no longer maintain green spaces for high-rise buildings due to financial or other factors.
The Park Service annually reviews whether the green spaces in tall buildings are still lush and provides horticultural advice when needed, such as introducing heat-resistant and heat-resistant landscape plants to replace poorly grown flowers and trees.
The Park Service would not disclose how much subsidy has been allocated so far, but stressed that the purpose of the subsidy is to encourage more owners to pay attention to the benefits of high-rise green space, in line with Singapore ’ s 2030 Green Plan, to implement the vision of 200 hectares of high-rise green space.
In fact, many builders choose to set up garden green space in tall buildings or rooftops, or plant vertical flowers and trees in the outer layer of the building, while greening the building environment of steel cement, it also saves energy costs for cooling indoor space.
Rooftop gardens can "cool" the surface of a building by 6 degrees Celsius and reduce the surrounding temperature by 4 degrees Celsius, Sufian said.
In addition, when the solar panel is placed on the roof, if green plants are also planted below it, the solar panel can be prevented from overheating and the charging efficiency can be improved.
More intensive planting of various plants along the roadside
Green buildings such as vertical greening are a topic of concern in recent years, and integrating green space and natural habitat in new towns and residential areas can be one of the compromise solutions to balance urban development and conservation, and offset the plundering and depletion of the natural environment by development projects.
About 40 percent of Singapore's land area is covered by green vegetation, many of which are naturally formed forests in the past half century.
After the urban development of the 1970s, many rural and agricultural land was cleared, and tropical tree species that are easier to reproduce and grow quickly were planted, and many sub-forests were scattered everywhere.
Over the years, the Park Service has also grown more dense and numerous plants per hectare of road land than in the past.
In the past, most of the plants on both sides of the road were of the same species. "This is not a wise move, because if a certain species of tree is infected, it will affect a lot of trees," said Mr Woo Chao-shing, Senior Director of Roads and Landscape of the Park Service.
As a result, over the years, more diverse species of shrubs and trees have been added to create a sense of stratification along roadsides or open spaces, attracting more butterflies and birds, etc. “And this will improve the fragmentation of green spaces caused by urbanization, strengthen ecological cohesion, repair roads and increase the destruction of nature by building more houses. ”
"When cities develop, we have to compensate by planting more plants in the same area of green corridors, or by choosing plants that grow faster to get back to the lush feeling of the past as soon as possible," Hu said.
To this end, the Park Service launched the rewilding project three years ago, deliberately ignoring the green corridors of 24 locations, reducing the number of routine pruning of branches and weeds and creating a sense of overgrown grass.
"We deliberately allow nature to grow freely, increasing its biodiversity and saving manpower, as long as it does not block the entrance of drainage channels or obstruct the passage of pedestrians," Hu said.
However, some residents are concerned about mosquito breeding, and "we will consider it on a case-by-case basis before deciding whether to expand the area under the plan."

Vertical gardens, also known as green walls, are becoming increasingly popular in environmental design and architecture due to their numerous aesthetic and environmental benefits.

They can provide natural insulation to buildings, reducing internal climate consumption and energy waste.

Vertical gardens can also reduce urban heat island effect and increase carbon sequestration, beautifying the urban environment and improving living quality.

The use of hydroponic methods in vertical farming can save up to 95% of water compared to traditional agriculture, making it a highly water-efficient method.

Automated control systems are used in vertical farms to control temperature, humidity, and light, ensuring optimal growing conditions for plants.

Smart sensors can monitor water's pH, nutrient concentration, and temperature, allowing for precise control over these factors in vertical gardens.

Vertical gardens can last up to 25 years with minimal maintenance, making them a sustainable option for environmental design and architecture.

They can reduce energy waste and improve air quality, while also making structures more sustainable and fire-resistant.

The installation cost of vertical green walls can range from $200 to $1200 per square meter, depending on the design and materials used.

Vertical walls can be designed with plants that survive in tropical climates, making them suitable for extreme temperature conditions.

However, the specific technical requirements for designing and installing vertical gardens in extreme environmental conditions, such as high winds and high humidity, are not well-documented in the available sources.

Vertical gardens can be supported by steel frames and light concrete, and can use plants that grow in soil and acidity, allowing for a range of design possibilities.

The use of geothermal systems and natural insulation can reduce energy consumption and provide heating and cooling with minimal energy loss, making vertical gardens a sustainable option.

In extreme conditions, the use of sensors to monitor soil hydration and nutrient levels, as well as rainwater harvesting systems, can help to maintain the health and viability of the plants.

The selection of suitable plant species, such as heat-resistant plants, can also help to ensure the success of vertical gardens in extreme environments.

Vertical gardens can have a significant impact on the environment, with the ability to absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, making them a valuable tool in the fight against climate change.

The maintenance needs of vertical gardens can be minimal, with some systems requiring only occasional watering and pruning, making them a low-maintenance option.

The use of automatic sprinkler systems can also help to maintain the ecology of vertical gardens, ensuring that they continue to thrive in a variety of conditions.

Overall, while there are many benefits to vertical gardens, further research is needed to fully understand the specific engineering and technical requirements for designing and installing them in extreme environmental conditions.

Vertical gardens, also known as green walls, are becoming increasingly popular in environmental design and architecture due to their numerous aesthetic and environmental benefits.

Not far from Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a four-square, minimalist office building, vertical farm "My Garden" is a busy scene.
Entering the farm, the reporter is like entering a laboratory - entering the workshop needs to go through two doors, the staff are dressed in white coats, gloves and hair sleeves; and like to come to a large storage market - rows of shelves, neatly placed all kinds of vegetables, staff sometimes need to step on ladders to get and place items.
Farm production manager Robert Ferlos said that it is more like a modern production workshop, where temperature, humidity and light are automatically controlled to provide a more accurate and efficient growing environment for vegetables.
"My Vegetable Garden" vertical farm was built with a joint investment of 40 million US dollars by the aviation department of Emirates and the US agri-tech company First Crop Company, covering an area of 10,000 square meters and three floors.
The farm is divided into 27 workshops, each of which has its own control system.
Nine kinds of vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, kale and beet, are grown here.
It takes about six weeks from planting to the first harvest.
In the nursery workshop, two workers are using tweezers to clip a seed of kale into a small lattice containing the matrix.
The seeds germinate after about two weeks, and then transplant to the growth workshop.
Under each shelf is a water tank, which contains nutrient solutions and provides "supplies" according to the growth needs of different vegetables.
The farm uses hydroponic methods to grow vegetables, which can save 95% of water compared with traditional agriculture.
Even the moisture generated in the workshop every day is extracted and condensed by special equipment and re-injected into the water tank to maximize the saving of valuable water resources.
In another workshop, workers are harvesting vegetables.
After completing the disinfection procedure, a worker carefully shoveled a lettuce tree with a shovel knife and put it in a plastic box.
Ferlos said that lettuce can be harvested three times per cycle, spinach can sometimes be harvested four or five times, and each workshop can harvest six cycles a year.
The vertical farm, which started production in July last year, can produce three tons of vegetables a day.
Ferlos said the farm's production capacity is only half of the designed maximum capacity, mainly on order, for example, for the airline's food department and more than 170 supermarkets in the UAE.
“Compared with traditional agriculture, vertical farms are not only more resource-efficient, but also minimize the impact of natural disasters and insect pests, so that food safety and quality are more controllable. ”
After the interview, the reporter went to a supermarket in a shopping mall in Dubai to learn about the sales of products in the vertical farm of "My Garden".
On the cold shelf, in addition to individual packaging of different vegetables, there are some salad combinations of vegetables mixed together.
A box of 200 grams of lettuce costs 8.75 dirhams (1 yuan about 0.53 dirhams), which is cheaper than the lettuce imported from abroad.
There is also a special “My Garden ” vegetable cultivation cabinet next to the shelves, with the sign on the top saying:“ Supermarket field planting, support a sustainable future. ”
The UAE's arable land accounts for less than 5% of the country's land area, and nearly 90% of its food is imported.
In recent years, the UAE has introduced a number of policies to support the development of agricultural science and technology and improve food self-sufficiency.
At present, more than 1,000 vertical farms have been planted in the UAE using hydroponic methods.
“We will continue to launch new initiatives to use modern agricultural technology to accelerate self-sufficiency in fresh food production and achieve sustainable development, ” said Sheikh Mohammed, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, after visiting the farm.

Content: Did you know that more and more liveable buildings like a three-dimensional park will appear in Taichung City? The Taichung City Government implemented the “Measures to Encourage the Establishment and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities in Taichung City ”, which has reached its third anniversary and has applied for 117 construction licenses, of which 88 have been approved.
In order to present the results of the implementation of the Measures and to present the urban development vision of Taichung as a “New International Portal, a Happy and Liveable City ”, the Urban Development Bureau of the Taichung Municipal Government and the Taichung Architect Association will hold the“ Exhibition of Works of the 3rd Anniversary of Taichung City ’ s Liveable Architecture ” in the lobby of the first floor of the Dadun Cultural Center. Interested people are welcome to visit.
Climate change is an important global issue, and the task of zero carbon emissions and greenhouse gas reduction cannot be postponed.
In order to promote livable buildings and build a vertical green ecosystem in the city to achieve the goal of effectively improving the urban heat island effect and reducing carbon emissions in the city, the Taichung City Government has implemented the "Measures to Encourage the Installation and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities in Taichung City" since March 26, 2019.
As of May 6, 111, there are 117 construction applications, a total of 88 construction licenses have been approved, and 3 use licenses have been issued. Among them, a total of 3,043 trees have been added due to the construction of livable facilities, and the carbon sequestration amount has increased by 13,845 tons, which is equivalent to the creation of about 2 Wenxin Forest Park. Small community neighborhood parks, through the way of "one project, one park", to compensate for the lack of vertical greening in the city, not only beautify the urban environment, but also improve the quality of the residents' living environment, and make Taichung a beautiful and livable happy garden city.
Huang Wenbin, director of the Urban Development Bureau of Taichung City Government, stressed that the formulation of the measures is intended to be of a public welfare nature and to seek the best livable life for the citizens.
If the project plans vertical greening facilities, the floor area of the building will be exempted from award setting (the maximum allowable area is 10% of the legal volume), and it will not be included in the building surveying and ownership registration area, so as to prevent harm and avoid raising the price of the house.
At the same time, based on the principle of public plains, the construction company pays a rebate for the floor portion of the building without volume, of which 60% is provided for the follow-up management committee to manage and maintain livable facilities, and the other 40% is used as a livable building research and development and special landscape green energy development subsidy fund.
If you want to learn more about Taichung ’ s liveable architecture design, you can ’ t miss the “Taichung City Liveable Architecture 3rd Anniversary Exhibition ”.
The exhibition will be held at 10: 00 a.m. on June 17 at the Dadun Cultural Center in Taichung City, followed by a livable forum discussing topics such as livable architecture, sustainable ecological city, vertical greening, and new aesthetics of Taichung city.

The use of hydroponic methods in vertical farming can save up to 95% of water compared to traditional agriculture, making it a highly water-efficient method.

Automated control systems are used in vertical farms to control temperature, humidity, and light, ensuring optimal growing conditions for plants.

Smart sensors can monitor water's pH, nutrient concentration, and temperature, allowing for precise control over these factors in vertical gardens.

Turn your phone into a farmer’s market with this app-controlled hydroponic system, growing fresh greens in your home

A wall of green leafy vegetables and delicate herbs like basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme is not something you would expect to see when you enter a home in Chennai. Being met with this sight is a welcoming surprise for the salad enthusiasts.

It was largely observed that one of the top hobbies people started over the pandemic was gardening. However, once the pandemic ended and people went back to their regular lives, a lack of time and knowledge left terrace gardens barren.

“Gardening is a conscious, continuous activity. You have to manage your plants, water and monitor them regularly,” says Shamil Bicha, founder of Croppico, and an engineer turned farmer, who has designed a hydroponic farming setup which allows people to grow leafy vegetables and herbs in any climate condition. “We wanted to automate farming. We wanted someone who typically doesn’t have a green thumb to be able to grow their own vegetables.”

The hydroponic farming setup designed by Shamil and his team is an improvement on designs that already exist, now optimised for personal home use. It can grow leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, celery, rocket, and herbs like mint, parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano and more. The setup performs to its optimal ability in air-conditioned environments. However, Shamil says, “Our systems have been performing in Chennai without air conditioning too. The chiller takes care of the water temperature, but ambient temperatures can be challenging in summer months,”

Owing to the harsh heat, Chennai imports many vegetables and herbs from outside the city, which are then sold as premium, fresh produce. How fresh are they in reality? A majority of the produce, being exported from hill stations and farms on the outskirts, travels to the wholesale and retail markets within the city several hours after being harvested.

Only a handful of the population in major metropolitan cities consume fresh vegetables on a daily basis. With experiences that promise farm-to-table dining, many people have, over the last decade or so, started being more conscious about where and how far their food is coming from.

This setup, called Homie, has a multi-tiered structure that can house upto 72 plants and 80 seedlings. Nutrient-rich water is circulated with clockwork precision based on a pre-programmed schedule. Smart sensors constantly monitor the water’s pH, nutrient concentration, temperature, flow rate, and even the ambient environment.

A specialised grow light acts as a substitute for sunlight, which bathes the crops in an optimised spectrum of light according to the daylight schedule. Farm-assist, an inbuilt-centralised system, controls the nutrient delivery, irrigation, and lighting cycles.

“The water tank and the whole system needs to be cleaned once every 30–40 days to avoid the growth of pathogens. So just like there is SaaS (software as a service), we decided to offer FaaS, which is farming as a service,” says Shamil, who is currently training a group of technicians on how to service this farming setup. At ₹1,000 a month, FaaS can be accessed by users. Apart from just cleaning, Homie users will also be able to sign up for a sapling subscription, where the technician will install new saplings.

The farming system also comes with a smartphone application (which is still being developed) that lets users manage their crops even while they are away for long periods of time. The app will also include an e-commerce section that allows users to purchase saplings and crop care necessities. It goes beyond keeping an eye on your crops. Your dashboard will track the crops you are growing and suggest recipes that can use them in the best possible ways. The database of recipes will keep growing as users add their own creations to the list for others to see and try, making it a true community experience.

Croppico’s Homie is currently available in Chennai and Bengaluru. To get the system installed in your home, reach out to connect@croppico.com. The first 1000 customers can have the system installed at ₹1.25lakh

They can reduce energy waste and improve air quality, while also making structures more sustainable and fire-resistant.

The installation cost of vertical green walls can range from $200 to $1200 per square meter, depending on the design and materials used.

Vertical walls can be designed with plants that survive in tropical climates, making them suitable for extreme temperature conditions.

However, the specific technical requirements for designing and installing vertical gardens in extreme environmental conditions, such as high winds and high humidity, are not well-documented in the available sources.

Vertical gardens can be supported by steel frames and light concrete, and can use plants that grow in soil and acidity, allowing for a range of design possibilities.

The use of geothermal systems and natural insulation can reduce energy consumption and provide heating and cooling with minimal energy loss, making vertical gardens a sustainable option.

In extreme conditions, the use of sensors to monitor soil hydration and nutrient levels, as well as rainwater harvesting systems, can help to maintain the health and viability of the plants.

Nederland ’ s “Vertical Forest ” social housing combines environmental protection and aesthetics to enhance the quality of life
by Cecilia
/ 2021.10.17
Housing problems, land problems, property slavery, and high property prices have all become symbols of Hong Kong, and it is common for overseas places to have high-quality public housing or social housing, and in the Netherlands, Einhaven has just completed a "vertical forest" social housing covered with plants, which combines greenery, environmental protection and aesthetics.

Designed by Italian architecture studio Stefano Boeri Architetti, the social house in Yanhaofen, Netherlands, known as the Trudo Vertical Forest, is 18 stories high and 70 meters tall and has 125 units. The balcony protruding between each unit has different width, height and depth.
Low-income people and young people starting families can improve living conditions even for citizens who can ’ t afford private housing, and apply the concept of urban afforestation as a possibility to improve the urban environment and cope with climate change.

Trudo Vertical Forest uses white as the main color overall, and is surrounded by solar reflective glass bars, the planting balcony is equipped with sensors to monitor the hydration and nutrient levels of the soil, even the novice planting do not have to worry.
Don ’ t underestimate the amount of plants in a single building that can absorb more than 50 tons of carbon dioxide and emit more than 13 tons of oxygen each year. It makes sense to call it a “vertical forest ”.
Solar panels on the roof provide some of the energy consumed by the building, while reservoirs and rainwater harvesting systems are installed to irrigate the plants.

In terms of indoor environment, each 50 square meters (about 538 square feet) unit can be reconfigured according to people, and the floor height is at least 3.5 meters. Although foreigners are relatively tall, they are also full of space.
Each unit has its own balcony, each with a tree and 20 shrubs.
The design takes into account the doubling of the weight and size of each plant ’ s life cycle, and there is a dedicated gardener to take care of it, who does not enter the house, but hangs down outside the building to maintain and trim the plants.
This is not the first time that the concept of “vertical forest ” has been heard, and it has been implemented around the world. However, this time, as a social housing, it is also a big attraction, and I hope to see it in Hong Kong one day.

The selection of suitable plant species, such as heat-resistant plants, can also help to ensure the success of vertical gardens in extreme environments.

Content: More construction owners apply for subsidies to increase the garden high-rise green space area doubled in 10 years
Font Size:
Our high-rise green space has increased significantly, more than doubling in size over the past 10 years, from 60 hectares in 2013 to 155 hectares.
In addition to more new builders incorporating high-rise green spaces or rooftop gardens into their blueprints, more and more owners of older buildings are applying to the National Park Service for subsidies to add or convert their roofs into green spaces.
In an interview with the Lianhe Zaobao, the senior director of the National Park Service's landscaping department, Sophie Ann, revealed that since 2009, about 300 projects have applied for grants for high-rise green spaces or vertical landscaping.
Owners who receive the allowance must ensure that the green space of the tall building is maintained for at least five years.
According to the Park Service, only five applicants no longer maintain green spaces for high-rise buildings due to financial or other factors.
The Park Service annually reviews whether the green spaces in tall buildings are still lush and provides horticultural advice when needed, such as introducing heat-resistant and heat-resistant landscape plants to replace poorly grown flowers and trees.
The Park Service would not disclose how much subsidy has been allocated so far, but stressed that the purpose of the subsidy is to encourage more owners to pay attention to the benefits of high-rise green space, in line with Singapore ’ s 2030 Green Plan, to implement the vision of 200 hectares of high-rise green space.
In fact, many builders choose to set up garden green space in tall buildings or rooftops, or plant vertical flowers and trees in the outer layer of the building, while greening the building environment of steel cement, it also saves energy costs for cooling indoor space.
Rooftop gardens can "cool" the surface of a building by 6 degrees Celsius and reduce the surrounding temperature by 4 degrees Celsius, Sufian said.
In addition, when the solar panel is placed on the roof, if green plants are also planted below it, the solar panel can be prevented from overheating and the charging efficiency can be improved.
More intensive planting of various plants along the roadside
Green buildings such as vertical greening are a topic of concern in recent years, and integrating green space and natural habitat in new towns and residential areas can be one of the compromise solutions to balance urban development and conservation, and offset the plundering and depletion of the natural environment by development projects.
About 40 percent of Singapore's land area is covered by green vegetation, many of which are naturally formed forests in the past half century.
After the urban development of the 1970s, many rural and agricultural land was cleared, and tropical tree species that are easier to reproduce and grow quickly were planted, and many sub-forests were scattered everywhere.
Over the years, the Park Service has also grown more dense and numerous plants per hectare of road land than in the past.
In the past, most of the plants on both sides of the road were of the same species. "This is not a wise move, because if a certain species of tree is infected, it will affect a lot of trees," said Mr Woo Chao-shing, Senior Director of Roads and Landscape of the Park Service.
As a result, over the years, more diverse species of shrubs and trees have been added to create a sense of stratification along roadsides or open spaces, attracting more butterflies and birds, etc. “And this will improve the fragmentation of green spaces caused by urbanization, strengthen ecological cohesion, repair roads and increase the destruction of nature by building more houses. ”
"When cities develop, we have to compensate by planting more plants in the same area of green corridors, or by choosing plants that grow faster to get back to the lush feeling of the past as soon as possible," Hu said.
To this end, the Park Service launched the rewilding project three years ago, deliberately ignoring the green corridors of 24 locations, reducing the number of routine pruning of branches and weeds and creating a sense of overgrown grass.
"We deliberately allow nature to grow freely, increasing its biodiversity and saving manpower, as long as it does not block the entrance of drainage channels or obstruct the passage of pedestrians," Hu said.
However, some residents are concerned about mosquito breeding, and "we will consider it on a case-by-case basis before deciding whether to expand the area under the plan."

Vertical gardens can have a significant impact on the environment, with the ability to absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, making them a valuable tool in the fight against climate change.

The maintenance needs of vertical gardens can be minimal, with some systems requiring only occasional watering and pruning, making them a low-maintenance option.

The use of automatic sprinkler systems can also help to maintain the ecology of vertical gardens, ensuring that they continue to thrive in a variety of conditions.

The school received an environmental subsidy of NT $220,000 two years ago to plant large Dumbo flowers to form a green wall, which helps to cool down the temperature and purify the air, and also to install an automatic sprinkler system to maintain the ecology of the green wall.
According to the Environmental Protection Bureau of Chiayi City Government, since 2019, the Environmental Protection Department has promoted the vertical air green wall project. Since 2019, three schools, including Xingjia, Jiabei Elementary School and Jiabei Elementary School, have installed climbing plants on the school's daughter wall and the balcony of the classroom.
The Environmental Protection Bureau of the Chiayi Municipal Government said that this year, the Environmental Protection Agency expanded the target of subsidies, in addition to the original subsidies of public middle school, public elementary school, public preschool institutions, public welfare groups, public facilities, environmental protection night market, civic activity center and other venues, air green wall subsidies of 3,000 to 6,000 yuan per square meter, single subsidy ceiling of 400,000 yuan.
According to the Municipal Environmental Protection Agency, according to the results of the study, vertical green walls can reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), suspended particulates (PM10) by about 40% and 60%, but also reduce the concentration of indoor fine suspended particulates (PM2.5) by about 10%, ozone by about 30%, and indoor temperature reduction by about 1.8 ℃.
According to the city's Environmental Protection Bureau, the appropriate plant types are lily bamboo, firecracker red, Yunnan yellow carnation, turtle, Boston kidney fern, hydrangea, African pansy or panthera, and can be selected according to the space planning and installation requirements, so that the space is more beautiful.
