Landscaping consists of nothing more than the art of
incorporating natural elements of the environment , such as trees and seedlings, with non-living elements, such as residential, commercial and public buildings, in both indoor and outdoor areas, in order to create
specific solutions that improve the well-being and quality of life of those who frequent it.

Plants, of course, in addition to being a healthy item to have at home, can be
great aesthetic allies for decoration . This is because the practice of landscaping requires specific techniques that
go beyond the architecture itself , which can vary for each species of plant. that is used, and which holds within itself the power to
completely transform a residential project .

bringing plants for indoors , as a way of literally creating an "urban forest". For this, there are no rules: your urban jungle can be a
composition full of pots , or even a
vertical garden that is great for homes with reduced footage.

In homes that are already bathed in natural light, landscaping seeks to enhance the brightness by
bringing the pots and arrangements closer to the opening to the outside . For this reason, it is common to see many gardens being grown on
balconies or terraces, since the incidence of sunlight tends to be greater in these areas. places,
especially in apartments . In houses with little light, the ideal is to look for plants that grow well in half light, as we have already explained in more detail
