Modern cities face a range of environmental problems, such as air pollution and soil degradation. However, the solution to these problems can be simple and accessible through the creation of green gardens. At Ecolandscape Studio, we believe that a garden can not only be an aesthetic decoration but also an important tool for improving the environment, purifying the air and soil.
How Plants Purify the Air
Almost all plants play an important role in maintaining air purity. They absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and filter harmful substances such as dust and chemical pollutants. For example, lavender and ferns can effectively purify the air of toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. Moreover, plants such as Sansevieria (snake plant) continue to release oxygen even at night, which is important for creating a comfortable atmosphere indoors.
As Martin Palma, founder and CEO of Ecolandscape Studio, emphasizes: «We always strive to choose plants that not only decorate the garden but also help improve air quality. This is an important part of creating sustainable and eco-friendly landscapes.»
How Plants Purify the Soil
Plants also play a key role in purifying the soil. For example, legumes such as clover can fix nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil with it, improving its structure and fertility. Marigolds and sedges help restore the soil by cleansing it of pollutants like petroleum products and toxic chemicals.
The root system of plants improves soil structure, prevents erosion, and promotes better water exchange. Reed and other aquatic plants can purify polluted water bodies and also clean the soil in coastal areas.
How to Create a Garden that Purifies Air and Soil
- Choosing Local Plants: Local species like lavender, echinacea, and hawthorn not only adapt better to the climate but also require minimal care. These plants contribute to maintaining ecological balance and purifying both air and soil.
- Multi-level Landscaping: Using different plant levels, including trees, shrubs, and ground cover plants, creates a more effective filtration system and supports a healthy ecosystem.
A garden is not only a place for relaxation and enjoyment of nature but also a powerful tool for improving the quality of the environment. At Ecolandscape Studio, we believe that creating such gardens helps not only improve air and soil but also contributes to overall well-being.
As Martin Palma notes: «Every project we undertake is not only about beauty and style but also about contributing to a sustainable future.» Create a garden that will purify your life, bringing harmony and freshness to your home and the surrounding environment.
