Abstract

Environmental concern on a global scale has fueled the trend of the “green movement” to act against factors such as global warming, air and water pollution, and loss of habitat (Buraglia et al., 2011). For this study, a specific focus is made on the vegetable gardening systems applied to the public outdoor space, as an alternative for improvement and increase of green areas. For this, the design of a vertical garden model with endemic plants within the city of El Grullo, Jalisco, Mexico, which can adapt to the meteorological and spatial conditions of the place, was proposed. The objective of this research was to propose a vertical garden model with endemic vegetation for outdoor public spaces. The methodology that was used was observational, descriptive and cross-sectional, for the feasibility of the study, after specialized bibliography, the analysis of the vegetation and public furniture that surrounds the study areas was taken as a reference. The relevant aspect of the research is pointed out, where it refers that the vertical gardens with endemic vegetation promote a better visual image of green spaces for the community of El Grullo, where the socialization, well-being and coexistence of the inhabitants are favored in these spaces.
