About: The Green in Knokke: surrounded by a 100m2 vertical garden with a total of 3462 plants and was installed in February 2021. "The living wall helps the municipality of Knokke to make the urban city center more attractive and create a positive effect on the wellbeing of city dwellers and visitors".

“A symbiosis between nature and technology”: the fourteen different types of plants used help to increase the biodiversity by attracting local birds and insects to this urban area.

Design lines | Landscape design

This living wall is located in an urban area but nearby the seaside, therefore the landscape design was connected to it, trying to evocate sea waves. These organic waves allow to introduce elegantly different matrices and interesting species to the planting palette.
