Vertical green structures for public spaces
Greenery posts offer a solution for greening urban environments, particularly in narrow streets where traditional green spaces (such as planters or small green areas) present challenges. These metre-high structures are designed to add greenery to the streetscape. Through the use of climbing plants, green stands not only contribute to the greening of streets but also to biodiversity in urban areas.
Upwards!
A key advantage of vertical greenery is its space-saving design. In busy urban environments where space is at a premium, vertical greenery makes it possible to incorporate greenery without taking up much floor space. This is particularly valuable in narrow shopping streets, where it is essential to maintain sufficient passageways for shoppers. Greenery posts still provide greenery, making them a good choice for modern urban planning.
Water management
In addition, vertical greenery plays a role in water management. The plants and substrate can absorb rainfall, thereby reducing the risk of flooding. This aspect has become increasingly important in light of climate change and the growing frequency of extreme weather events. Vertical greenery thus helps to manage rainwater more effectively and keep the environment liveable.
In short, green posts can be a versatile and effective solution to the challenges of urbanisation. A successful implementation can inspire further greening of cities, thereby promoting a sustainable future in which nature and urban development go hand in hand.

Project in Winterswijk
Green posts have also been used in Winterswijk as part of the redevelopment of several shopping streets. These five-metre-high structures provide space for climbing plants and contribute to the green and water-resistant appearance of the town centre.
