Greenworks designs, produces and markets furniture and interior

solutions with an extensive amount of plants. Common for all products is

the space effective way in which they affect the indoor environment. Air

cleaning and humidification, sound absorbing and aestetic qualities do

all contribute to the employees’ and visitors’ well-being at the premises.

Greenworks works directly with architects, interior designers, stylists, and

event managers as well as through plant companies. Greenworks does

constantly see new needs for indoor plantings and therefore developes

new items to meet that demand.

wall surfaces that you want to cover with plants can be customized according

to your preferences of plant design.

in these case Greenworks takes care of the complete installation of the plant

wall. the irrigation system is either integrated with the watering and plumbing

system in the building or made as a closed system with a watering tank.

Just like green roofs, plant walls are perfect for introducing more greenery

into urban areas.

not much space is required to turn a few square metres into gardens.

Reducing the urban heat island effect, increased biodiversity, better

insulation properties of buildings: these are terms that pop up everywhere

nowadays, usually in combination with plant walls.

VeRtiCaL GaRden at tHe wateR ReSeRVoiR in HeLSinGBoRG

In Helsingborg, Greenworks has built two of the first Scandinavian public

vertical outdoor gardens. on a curved wall 3800 grasses, perennials and

ferns have been planted. the result has been over expectations.

Vertical gardens reduce the heat in the city and increase the humidity and

biodiversity. when we densify the cities, vertical gardens are a way to create

balance by bringing in more green environments. Green roofs with sedum

have seen an increasing number of applications in different environments,

but green walls are more advanced and more unusual. the idea of dressing

the walls with plants existed since the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and now,

with the help of modern technology, we can also do it in Sweden.

the vertical garden is mounted on the water reservoire’s curved facade. an

air gap and a waterproof layer separates the plants from the concrete wall.

the garden consists of a modular system of gray cartridges with pre-made

holes for the plants. each module has a waterproof backing that protects

the wall.

the technique is called hydroponics - the plants are not planted in soil but in

felt and get their nutrients dissolved in water.

the green wall increases biodiversity since 20 species are used in the wall of

which most are evergreen perennials.

these include emerald Gaiety, Bergenia and Japanese sedge, but also

Swedish wildlife species as wild strawberries and ferns. the various species

attract birds and insects and help to develop the biodiversity of the

neighborhood. it is an experience for both humans, birds and insects.

iRRiGation SYSteM

an automated irrigation system is disposed in the water reservoir and is

coupled to a water supply line. a check valve and a break tank prevents the

water to find its way back into the drinking water network.

From the break tank the water is then mixed by a dispenser with a liquid

nutrient solution. the nutrient solution is dosed after the season.

the wall has a thermostat and humidity indicator via an electric control unit

that determines the amount of water pumped out of the facility. when the

temperature approaches 0°C an air compressor blows water away from the

irrigation pipes. This avoids ice expansion in hoses and fittings.

the water consumption is studied over the year.

the system is connected via a 3G transmitter and internet with the operator

on the operation / control center. if any part of the irrigation system fails, a

warning will be sent out and staff can fix the problem.

MoVinG HedGe

Moving hedge is a double sided plant wall on wheels with automatic irrigation

system.

The units are perfect as room dividers in office spaces or at creating

recreational spots. Moving Hedge is an intense green boost at any space

that can benefit from air purification, sound absorption and overall aesthetic

functions.

Greenworks products is the central role of the plants with its capacities:

- air purification

- humidification and oxygenation of the air

- sound absorption

- aesthetic expression

- enforcement of the green profile of your brand

research evidence

plant walls have many positive consequences. First they help to

reduce the urban heat island effect. Moreover, they create more

biodiversity as the plants absorb air pollutants, especially the ultrafine

particles that in the normal course of events are inhaled deeply into

the bronchi.

the combination of substrate, plants and trapped layers of air in the

plant wall system acts as a good sound insulation. Sound waves are

captured and reflected. The substrate blocks lower sound waves,

whilst plants obstruct higher frequencies. a plant surface keeps your

office quieter and creates more pleasant surroundings.

A plant wall in your indoor setting muffles noise, and the sound quality

in its surroundings is less hollow. the amount of sound insulation differs

per plant and also depends on how densely the plant wall is built up.

Many studies have demonstrated the soothing and relaxing

psychological effect of greenery. walking through botanical gardens

reduces blood pressure and lowers the heart beat. another study

shows that the presence of greenery helps one recover more quickly

from stress. So looking out on a plant wall is good for your health!
