Counteracting car pollution

Viritopia were thrilled to be given an opportunity to wrap yet another car park in living, breathing plants! Usually grey concrete blots on the landscape that bring polluting cars into one concentrated area, introducing particulate matter filtering plants is a natural, unique and visually stunning way to try and counteract these impacts on the planet and the people.

Fully established at our nursery

We grew the living wall modules from plugs for over 6 months at our nursery, so they were fully established when they reached site. We've also supplied our wire system over the car park too, using ivy plants for their ability to climb quickly and their absorbent properties.
