About

Vertical gardens are a relatively new field of work, and as such it has room for a lot of development. Since 2004, Vertical Garden Design has focused on the design aspect of these type of gardens - to offer projects that stand out from the average range. This involves a continuous effort to increase the knowledge about suitable plants in order to create gardens for a wide range of locations and climates.
