Urban Gardening:Living walls

Living walls also known as vertical gardens is a type of urban gardening often designed as an art form to decorate buildings in cities. They are not only spectacularly beautiful, but they also help enliven a space, humidify the air and moderate indoor and outdoor building temperature.
