A cool and climate-friendly garden with Mobilane Green Screen
14 June 2023The Mobilane Green Screen instant hedge is a simple and space-saving way to add instant greenery to your garden. On top of that, this natural product is extremely climate friendly. Read on to find out more about the many benefits of installing a Green Screen in your garden.
A fully grown and dense fence
Mobilane Green Screen is a fully grown instant hedge that can be used as a yard boundary or fence in any garden. This hedge is completely covered with plants on both sides, making it a climate-friendly alternative to a traditional fence. Different plant types are available, including flowering and non-flowering varieties, and the hedge comes in various sizes, ranging from one meter to three meters tall.
Easy to install
Green Screen’s metal mesh structure keeps your garden secure from outsiders. At the bottom, the mesh is curved and covered in coconut fiber, which gives the roots the chance to grow. The result is a hedge that is easy to install, without damaging the roots. Mobilane’s hedges are easy to lift and place in a trench in the ground. Over time, the coconut material dissolves, and the roots grow further into the soil.
A Climate-friendly garden with Mobilane Green Screen
Green Screen is available with different plant species, each of which comes with its own characteristics and benefits. A climate-friendly garden contributes to biodiversity. The screens not only provide shelter and nesting opportunities for animals such as birds and insects like butterflies; they also provide food. The flowers on Jasmine and Pyracantha hedges, for example, are very popular with bees and butterflies. The berries produced by Hedera and Pyracantha, on the other hand, serve as a source of food for birds. Hedgehogs also love to hide and spend the winter in a cozy spot under a hedge.
Cleaner air in your garden with Mobilane Green Screen
Plants contribute to cleaner air. Not only do they provide oxygen, but some also purify the air. Our Hedera helix Woerner hedge in particular does exactly that. Per square meter, a Ready-to-Grow Hedera helix Woerner hedge captures about six grams of fine dust particles per year, according to the Dutch Royal Association of Landscapers and Gardeners. These benefits are even more keenly felt if you live in the city, or close to an industrial area. A Ready-to-Grow Hedera helix Woerner hedge captures fine dust particles as they settle on the outside of its leaves.
A cool garden in summer with our instant hedge
The effect of dry summers and rising temperatures is not only felt in urban areas; gardens are also getting hotter. Plants in a climate-friendly garden have a cooling effect, as they heat up less quickly than stone. Plants cool down by transpiring through their leaves. In doing so, they keep both themselves and their surroundings nice and cool, and a cooler environment is of course a more pleasant place to spend some time. Ready-made hedges also offer shade. When used as a fence in particular, they offer much better cooling results than “hard” fences. In other words, planting enough greenery can help bring the temperature down a few degrees to create a more climate-friendly garden.
Sustainably produced ready-made hedge
Mobilane Ready-To-Grow hedges are the most sustainable ready-made hedges on the market. Our hedges are grown in the Netherlands in “On the Way to Planet Proof”-certified nurseries. This means we’ve considered the needs of people, the environment, and animals in our sustainable production processes. Mobilane uses different climate zones in its greenhouses, so no energy goes to waste. The climate zones for our young plants are heated using energy from a sustainable energy mix via a collective energy cluster. To water its hedges, Mobilane uses rainwater collected in a collective pond, and in our greenhouses, we use organic pest control methods.
Three tips for a climate-friendly garden with Mobilane Green Screen
Green Screen can be used not only as a green property boundary, but in many other creative ways too, whether in the garden or on a balcony.
1. Concealing your trash cans
Placing trash cans behind a ready-made hedge serves as a convenient and natural way to hide them out of sight. The greenery conceals the containers, leaving them barely visible while you are enjoying dinner outside, for example.
2. Greening up the shed façade
Green Screens offer an easy way to add some greenery to dull, gray walls or uninspiring shed facades. Plant them in the soil directly against the wall to create a green and climate-friendly facade in no time.
3. Turning your balcony into a garden
Green Screens can work wonders on balconies too! Our instant Green Screen not only adds a garden atmosphere to your balcony, but also offers natural privacy. Plant your hedge in a spacious container to create a climate-friendly balcony and contribute to more greenery in the city.
