Ritz Carlton Hotel Outdoor Area In Bahrain With Pool And Greenery

As with all living wall installations in the Middle East, the correct plant selection was critical for the success of this stunning project. The Viritopia team carried out a full site and area survey and composed a list of plants that were native to the local area.

By using native species, Viritopia could be assured that the plants would survive the extreme weather conditions long-term.  The components for the project were all sent out to the nursery and the team followed along afterwards. Plants and growing medium were sourced from the local area and all the modules were planted up and left to establish. 

Thanks to all the team at Viritopia for the professional delivery of the new living walls at Ritz Bahrain. We enjoyed the process of creating this living wall and visitors are always very impressed with the installation!

The installation team then went to site a few weeks later to assist the local construction company with the installation. The on-going maintenance is all carried out by a local landscaping company who will ensure the wall continues to thrive!
