Here, environmental sustainability is a common theme that starts at ground level with flowering meadows, before moving upwards and continuing the focus on diversity with natural plantings on individual balconies.

Climbing plants clad the sides of the buildings, growing up a steel cable construction from galvanized steel troughs.

This vertical planting requires minimal space, provides privacy and transforms each balcony into a little green oasis.

Do you have a brilliant plant-related idea of your own?
