Horticulture, meets construction: green / grey infrastructure.It is increasingly important to consider the impact of horticulture in our architecture. The benefits of plants to improve well-being, increase productivity, creativity and air quality, means that clients are demanding them in the built environment, both inside & outside. There is a growing awareness of the capacity of plants to reduce urban temperatures, provide thermal benefits to buildings, attenuate rain water & reduce noise.So how can designers, specifiers & clients ensure their green infrastructure project delivers a vibrant successful outcome and ultimately, doesn’t lead to a brown drain on resources?It's a living thingLiving things can die with care & attention, which is precisely what can happen without operational, technical & horticultural long-term planning at the earliest stage. In-depth, experienced input is essential to ensure the sustainability of living, functional elements in the built environment. Too easy to get wrongFrom species selection to system & irrigation specification, many factors can lead to rapid decline in plant health and/or spiraling costs in horticultural architecture projects.
