In June Paisajismo Urbano installed its first indoor vertical garden in Madrid. The place where the work was carried out stands out for its innovative character, a “Cheese bar” where clients can sample cheeses from Spain and other parts of Europe. The garden consists of more than 1000 plants and is 30m2 in size.

When the client in question thought about installing a vertical garden and got in contact with Paisajismo Urbano, there were several objectives that he wanted to achieve.  On the one hand he wanted to recreate the land from which the main food of the restaurant comes, and on the other he wanted to create a natural environment, with soft and bright colours that would make the restaurant into a comfortable place to be, not only for its clients but also for the staff that work in the premises of more than 600m2.

This type of garden gives a modern component to the decoration of the place where it is installed, bringing well-being and improving air quality.  For the diners, the vertical garden offers a moment of relaxation, not least because the human brain associates the colour green with harmony, stability and elegance.

Another benefit of integrating nature into places of work and leisure is that the plants combat “Sick Building Syndrome”, where the toxins from furniture, carpets, wall coverings etc. relate to certain illnesses (irritation of the eyes, allergies, colds).

The mixture of the smell, the taste of the food and the visual aspect of the garden creates an atmosphere where it is the client that benefits the most.

Paisajismo Urbano is a business composed of people who truly believe in the work they do.  Their philosophy upholds that if one in every eight walls in our cities had a vertical garden, we would reduce the impact on the climate and pollution so that larger cities could give back to Mother Earth that which they have take away from her.
