The Service of Parks and Gardens, at the end of February, will build a section of vertical gardening in front of the School of Agronomic Engineering, in the place that occupied a hedge of cypresses that was removed from the Paseo de Alfonso XIII.
The execution will be carried out after the Polytechnic University has restored the wall, due to the deterioration observed when removing the hedge.
With the promotion of this work, the Municipal Parks and Gardens Service intends to start new paths in ecological gardening.
After the planning, a design was completed by Professor Jesús Ochoa Rego and his team of vertical gardens and ecological roofs at the UPCT School of Agronomic Engineering, in collaboration with the technician and designer Andrés García Ruiz, staff of the municipal garden maintenance contract.
This project has been carried out by the Sevillian company Terapia Urbana and will be executed by the Jardin Miranda company, being fully financed by the UTE ACTÚA-ACCIONA, concessionaire of the service of conservation of gardens and road trees of Cartagena.
It is therefore an example of collaboration between City Hall, University and Companies.
The proposal is a stretch of 8 meters in length by 2 meters in height, with garden accompaniment on both sides, until completing the flowerbed.
It is manufactured by modules of the Fytotextile system, which has a waterproof, draining and breathable layer, with fertigation systems with recirculation pumping and water reuse in the rest of the parterre and sectorized programmer.
The species considered in the design of the garden respond to a landscape design based on the sunshine and climatic conditions of the place.
In a few months, we will see the result of this interesting proposal, which can open new expectations in the design of buildings in a city that, with the climatic evidence and the desired energy savings, will require more vegetation.
