Green wall gardens



   Greening a wall can make a significant difference to its

   aesthetic appearance, and also to your power usage. It is a
   passive way of cooling your house, and if you use deciduous

   plants, then in winter the house can still be warmed by the

   sun, while in summer it will be considerably cooler.


   .Pocket gardens - these can be made out of all sorts of material from
   cloth to metal, allowing space for you to slot a plant in.


   .Hanging baskets - hung from brackets attached to the wall, these
   can be a beautiful addition to a wall, with flowering petunias or trailing
   succulents.
