Site visit to the FIRST VERTICAL GARDENS in Thessaloniki
Vertical gardens act as beautiful green solutions greatly
adding to the ecological sustainability of any urban
space. The first indoor vertical garden in Thessaloniki
was constructed this summer by Vitaverde in the I-Bank
Store of the National Bank of Greece. The whole area
of about 26 square meters inhabits more than 500 plants
and over 10 species. The vertical garden has great benefits
for the indoor microclimate and is at the same time
a pleasure to look at, changing the use of an ordinary
space. In December 2011 the first outdoor vertical garden
in Thessaloniki was constructed by Vitaverde at the
veranda of PBox eatery in Notos Galleries. These living
walls operate within two different systems a modular
and a layered system having different advantages. Through
the varied designs, always following the game of color,
shape and texture, the gardens have become part of the
buildings enhancing the gray, urban surroundings with
fresh, green life.
The visit will include the PBox eatery in Notos Galleries.
The site visit is included in the workshop registration
fee.
