Give in to the plantdemic with living walls in your home
Live MintWhile vertical gardens have been largely seen in institutional settings so far in India— think hotels, conference centres, office blocks— they are increasingly being adopted by homeowners too, albeit at a smaller scale, says Dipen Dedhia, founder, Rising Gardens, a Mumbai-based landscaping company that provides vertical garden structures to both homes and institutions. Keeping space constraints in Indian homes and apartments in mind, Rising Gardens is offering single-frame ‘breathing walls’, reasonably priced between Rs 3500 and Rs 9000, to get you started on growing a vertical garden on your balcony or even inside your house. Breathing walls by Rising Gardens If you don’t want to go with professional vertical gardens just yet, it is perfectly possible to DIY your way through one. However, the joy of seeing something grow is what kicked off the ‘plantdemic’ in the first place, so an easy to maintain vertical garden is perhaps what the doctor ordered.
