Why We Care About Providing Free Habitat Improvements to Properties
-
Urban Habitat Improvement
Vertical gardens can help to create healthier, more vibrant urban habitats by supporting pollinators, increasing biodiversity, improving soil health, reducing pollution, and enhancing aesthetic appeal.
-
Environmental Benefits
Vertical gardens and rain gardens can have a positive impact on environmental conditions by improving water quality, supporting pollinators, reducing the urban heat island effect, enhancing biodiversity, and improving air quality.
-
Property Aesthetics
Vertical gardens can improve property aesthetics by adding beauty, color, texture, and visual interest, which can enhance the overall value and appeal of a property.
Am I Qualified?
To receive a vertical garden, there are certain minimum requirements that must be met. First and foremost, the homeowner must own the property where the garden will be installed. This ensures that the garden is installed in a location where the homeowner has the authority to make improvements and is committed to the project long-term.
In addition, the homeowner must be actively making sustainable improvements to their landscape. This demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and a willingness to make positive changes to the environment. Sustainable improvements can include things like reducing water usage, using native plants, and minimizing chemical inputs.
Finally, the homeowner must be willing to provide photo updates of how the wall is doing for the city greening initiative. This helps to track the progress of the project and provides valuable data for future initiatives. By documenting the success of the vertical garden, we can inspire other homeowners to make similar improvements and create a more sustainable and beautiful community.
Overall, these minimum requirements help to ensure that the vertical garden is installed in a location where it can make a positive impact and that the homeowner is committed to the project long-term. By working together to create sustainable landscapes, we can create a more beautiful and resilient community for everyone to enjoy.
