Adding a vertical garden to your home is a great way to spruce up your space and bring nature indoors (even if you are tight on space and yard!). And what better way to do it than with artificial grass? Here’s why artificial grass is the perfect addition to your vertical garden.

Artificial grass is low maintenance – you don’t have to water it or worry about it dying

Installing artificial grass can be a breeze – literally. As opposed to regular gardens that require constant watering and are subject to death, artificial grass requires no maintenance! It will never die, so you don’t have to worry about getting your hands dirty or green. You install artificial grass once and that’s it – effortless and low-maintenance. Get your own vertical garden with artificial grass today for the perfect practical solution for any home or office space.

It’s perfect for small spaces – vertical gardens are a great way to save space

Vertical gardens are the perfect way to add a touch of greenery to homes and offices with very little room to spare. The addition of artificial grass is an ideal addition to any vertical garden because it gives the space some interesting dimension while also being low-maintenance. Moreover, artificial grass looks so close to real that even green thumbs will be fooled! With careful planning and thoughtful design, anyone can make the most out of their small space without sacrificing style.

It’s environmentally friendly – artificial grass doesn’t require the use of pesticides or herbicides

Artificial grass is an eco-friendly alternative to a traditional vertical garden, as you don’t need any harsh chemicals or pesticides to keep it in shape. It’s also almost maintenance-free and can be just as gorgeous as the real turf. Plus, no more annoying lawnmowers or weed whackers! So, if you’re looking for a way to green up your space, go artificial – and you can thank us for the idea later.

It’s durable – artificial grass can withstand heavy foot traffic and won’t fade in the sun

Vertical gardens look lush and vibrant, but do you really want to worry about upkeep? With artificial grass, you won’t have to worry about a thing! Artificial grass is an ideal addition for busy homeowners because not only is it low-maintenance – it’s super durable too. It’s designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while remaining soft to touch. And its color won’t fade due to exposure to the sun either! So, don’t sweat the small stuff when it comes to your vertical garden; with artificial grass, you’ll have the perfect addition all year long.

It’s safe for pets and children – there are no sharp edges or poisonous plants to worry about

Trying to keep your garden safe for your child and pet? Artificial grass is the perfect addition. With no sharp edges or worries about poisonous plants or other unsafe elements, you can rest assured that your vertical garden will be a safe haven for all members of the family – furry and non-furry alike! And who doesn’t love saving time when it comes to gardening? No need to deal with weed maintenance with fake grass! So, go ahead and give your loved ones a little peace of mind with artificial grass, it’s much less fuss and a whole lot of fun.

There you have it – artificial grass is the ideal addition to any vertical garden. You only need to get innovative to make the most of a vertical garden. So, why let your space limit your green fingers? Get creative with vertical gardens and add some artificial grass today! Who knows, you might even make your own little oasis amidst the concrete jungle – and that’s something no one can put a price on.

Eli Marcus

I arrived to a packed lecture room at a Library in South Florida. This lecture caught my eye weeks prior and I made sure to have it in my calendar. After all, how many more times will I get a chance to hear a 99 year old survivor tell his remarkable story of inconceivable hell, survival and ultimately impressive success? What I heard in the room that day was hard to fathom it wasn’t part of a Spielberg movie with some creative liberty thrown in to embellish an already unbelievable true story. This was the real deal. A vivid description of hell on earth. What I couldn’t understand is how did this survivor go on to create a vibrant family and a very successful business career and not be bitter every day of his life? Equally remarkable is how someone his age could tell a story from 85 years ago as if it happened yesterday and with energy and charisma of someone half his age. He spoke for 45 minutes without a break. Little did anyone in the audience know that, just prior to arriving at the Library, he fell and injured himself, making his perseverance in even making it to the Library even more heroic. This is no ordinary man. I approached the stage after the lecture, patiently awaited my turn to speak with him and asked if I could interview him for my podcast. I am pretty sure he knew little to nothing of what a podcast was, but he agreed as you are about to learn why telling his story over and over is his divine mission.

Eli Marcus and Sam Ron

Sam Ron bears personal witness to the greatest atrocity in human history. He is one of the only remaining Holocaust Survivors his age who survived four concentration camps…and a Death March. He turns 99 in July. His story is remarkable…and he himself is equally as remarkable.

-When did Sam first realize that the Germans were not just transporting Jews to what they disguised as labor camps, but were actually killing them.

-How many times was Sam transported in cattle cars and what was that like

-Which concentration camps was Sam in & what were they like

-What was life like in the concentration camps and why did they move Sam around to different camps

-What is a Death March, why and how did that happen and how did Sam survive it

-What lessons should listeners take away from Sam’s experience
