Les Jardins de Babylone will present vegetable walls at Hotel Show

Tag : uv absorbent
An occasion for the young company based in Ile de France to showits know-how in the realization of ecological gardens and design.

In the context of the importance of ecology and sustainabledevelopment issues, Les Jardins de Babylone proposes an originaland patented decorative concept: the ecological vegetable wall100%.

Either to equip external or interior spaces, Les Jardins deBabylone uses recycled synthetic materials, not taken in naturalecosystems (sphagnum).

On a first layer, made up of an absorbent fiber, optimized for itswater holding capacity (7,2 liters per square meter), comes asecond layer, in direct contact.

This system made up of alveolar foam, eliminating evaporation fromwater, is used as sponge for blocking the water evaporation andoptimist thus the role of absorbent fibers.

Lastly, the third layer is out of micro polyethylene perforated tolet evolve the seeds and escape the air released by the plants.

Thus, neither mushrooms nor algae can develop. Another asset ofthis plastic layer: it filters UV harmful for the gardens mostexposed to the sun.

For the irrigation, the vegetable wall is self-feed thanks to aclosed circuit. Water runs top of the wall, as a cascade, along theroots and finishes its course in a small vat from where it isrecovered to be re-used.

For the decoration, Les Jardins de Babylone privileges cleansingplants which absorb surrounding atmospheric pollution, and offersto clients a catalogue of more than 400 different plants.

The plants are nourished by completely biological manure, which donot pollute water used, and by ecological pesticides.

With a density of plantation of 45 plants per square meter, theresult is almost obvious at the first day.

In addition, the vegetable walls of Les Jardins de Babylone offeran original phonic and thermal insulation.

For each service, Les Jardins de Babylone proposes the design ofvegetable wall and vertical garden (choice of plants, drawings ofproject), the supply of plants and materials, the installation andthree months of maintenance (in Ile-de-France) or a half-day oftraining (if the project is in another French area or abroad).
