The Middle East’s largest living green wall was recently unveiled at Dubai Wharf, located in the heart of Culture Village overlooking the historic Dubai Creek.
The impressive vertical garden spans 1,260 square meters and features over 80,000 plants forming a leaf canopy area, providing a perfect backdrop for pictures and invites nature lovers for an idyllic stroll along the Dubai Creek shoreline.
Raed Al Nuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Properties, said: “As one of the top 20 happiest countries in the world and the happiest in the Arab region, according to the World Happiness Report 2018, the UAE is a keen supporter of sustainable living environments that are known to enhance the quality of life and elevate happiness levels.”
Developed by landscaping experts Gover Horticulture, the Dubai Wharf Green Wall is made using geotextile grow bags filled with peat substrates enriched with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK). This allows for better root growth, irrigation and drainage in the UAE climate that can often get quite harsh during the long summers.
