Vertical Gardens in Cities: The New Frontier of Professional Irrigation

In major cities like Milan, Rome, or Turin, green space is more limited than elsewhere. To meet this challenge, vertical gardens and green walls are increasingly used to transform unused surfaces—such as exterior walls, balconies, and terraces—into lush areas that contribute to urban reforestation and improved environmental quality.

Balconies, in particular, are becoming key ornamental and functional elements. In many urban redevelopment areas, greater care is required for these spaces, which now serve as green extensions of homes. Gardeners today must be equipped to meet these evolving demands.

These spaces require consistent attention to remain vibrant over time, and professional irrigation plays a central role. While design errors in irrigation systems are relatively rare, the real challenge lies in managing water effectively—especially for green walls or rooftop gardens spread across multiple floors or balconies. That’s where advanced irrigation systems make a real difference.

Professional Irrigation Systems for Vertical Gardens

Manually managing each balcony of a vertical green wall would be inefficient and impractical. Products like Amico Vision and Nuvola enable remote control of complex systems, solving the issue of physically accessing each irrigation point. With these devices, professionals can monitor and adjust irrigation directly from their smartphone, saving time and resources.

In cases where water pressure is absent or inconsistent, specific solutions like the Zero Pressure tap timer ensure even distribution without waste. Or the Nano valve box—designed specifically for rooftop gardens—offers a practical and effective installation that fits into tight spaces without compromising functionality.
