Vertical Garden Courses
Paisajismo Urbano offers professional training in vertical gardens, vertical ecosystems and technical greening using the Ignacio Solano Method. Ignacio Solano is a specialist in biological interactions and the creator of the patented Vertical Ecosystem® system (patent P201030799).
Over 1,500 students trained across Spain, Latin America and Europe. Available in five training options: self-paced online (€490), tutor-supported online with FUNDAE funding eligibility (€420), professional in-person training (€1,600), Business Programme (€2,000) and Premium Programme (€5,000).
All students receive a licence to use Paisajismo Urbano’s patented system and access to the International Urban Landscapers Network.
Online learning takes place through Evol, one of the most advanced training platforms on the market.
THE METHOD BEHIND THE TRAINING
Paisajismo Urbano’s training is not just a gardening course. It is a direct transfer of the scientific method that made it possible to create the world’s largest vertical garden — the Santalaia Building in Bogotá, covering 3,117 m² — and Europe’s largest indoor vertical garden — CaixaForum Valencia, winner of the 2023 Foro Agrario Award.
Ignacio Solano lleva más de 18 años investigando ecosistemas tropicales y aplicando esos principios biológicos a superficies verticales en más de 20 países. Todo ese conocimiento está condensado en la formación profesional de Paisajismo Urbano: los mismos criterios técnicos, los mismos materiales y el mismo sistema patentado que se usa en los proyectos reales.

120-Day Implementation Programme
Introduce vertical gardens as a new premium service within your business
Over the next 120 days, you will learn and apply the system Ignacio Solano has developed over more than 20 years to professionally design, quote, sell, install and maintain vertical gardens.
This programme is not designed simply to teach you a new technique.
It is designed to help you introduce vertical gardens as a new business line within your company, using a methodology that enables you to assess opportunities, prepare accurate quotations, present projects professionally and deliver them successfully.
The aim is to prepare your company to undertake projects worth €10,000–€15,000 or more, with the technical knowledge, processes, tools and commercial judgement required.
- WHO IS THIS PROGRAMME FOR?
This programme is aimed at professionals and companies already working in gardening, landscaping, construction, maintenance, architecture, interior design or technical services who want to introduce vertical gardens as a new professional service within their existing business.
Particularly suitable for:
- gardening companies;
- landscape designers and contractors;
- maintenance companies;
- construction companies;
- interior designers;
- architectural practices;
- technical consultancies;
- companies involved in construction and renovation;
- professionals with an existing client base who want to expand their services.
Previous experience installing vertical gardens is not required.
What is required is a genuine commitment to applying the system, developing this new capability and working towards its implementation over the next 120 days.
- WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE
By the end of the programme, you will have the knowledge, processes and tools your company needs to:
- properly assess a vertical garden opportunity;
- design and develop the technical aspects of a project;
- select the appropriate system, materials and plant species;
- accurately calculate costs;
- prepare professional quotations;
- determine pricing, margins and profitability;
- introduce this new service to existing and potential clients;
- structure a commercial proposal;
- justify your pricing;
- handle objections;
- follow up with potential clients;
- properly install and maintain projects;
- establish processes and resources so you do not have to start every project from scratch.
The aim is not simply to learn how to build vertical gardens.
It is to develop a new technical, financial and commercial capability within your company.
- 120-DAY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
From day one, you will follow a clear implementation sequence:
LEARN → PREPARE → POSITION → QUOTE → SELL → DELIVER
Over the four months, you will progressively work through each of these stages.
You will learn the technical aspects while preparing the resources you need to operate.
You will develop your financial framework while beginning to assess projects.
You will build your sales process while starting to introduce this new service to potential clients.
You do not need to complete all the training before you begin implementing what you have learnt.
The programme is designed so that learning and practical application progress together.
The purpose of these 120 days is not to accumulate information.
It is to progressively build a new professional service within your company.
- SOLANO TECHNICAL SYSTEM
You will gain access to the technical system developed by Ignacio Solano over more than 20 years of professional experience in vertical gardens and plant-based systems.
We will cover the main elements involved in designing, installing and maintaining a project:
- design and planning;
- construction systems;
- applied botany;
- plant selection;
- irrigation;
- fertilisation;
- materials;
- installation;
- maintenance;
- diagnostics;
- error prevention;
- troubleshooting.
The aim of this module is to help you understand how a project should be approached from a technical perspective before preparing a quotation, selling it or carrying out the installation.
It is not simply about understanding each element separately.
It is about understanding how they interact and which decisions influence the medium- and long-term performance of a vertical garden.
- SOLANO BLACKBOOK
You will not have to build this new business line from a blank page.
You will gain access to a library of resources developed from real projects, processes and practical situations.
It includes:
- quotations;
- proposals;
- suppliers;
- checklists;
- technical documentation;
- calculations;
- processes;
- real-world examples;
- working frameworks;
- resources to support project delivery.
The Solano Blackbook is designed to reduce the time needed to turn knowledge into practical application.
You will not only know what to do.
You will have tools and reference materials that you can use as a starting point when structuring your own projects.
The aim is to ensure that every new opportunity does not mean starting from scratch.
- PROFITABILITY AND QUOTATION SYSTEM
A project can be technically well designed and still become a poor business decision if it is incorrectly priced.
In this module, you will learn how to prepare quotations while understanding all the factors that affect project profitability.
We will cover:
- materials;
- labour;
- travel and transport;
- direct costs;
- indirect costs;
- contingencies;
- price per m²;
- profit margins;
- final pricing;
- payment structures;
- maintenance;
- overall project profitability.
You will also work with real examples and quotations to understand the financial calculations behind an installation project.
The aim is to ensure that, before accepting a project, you can clearly answer three questions:
How much revenue will I generate?
How much will it cost me?
What profit margin should I expect?
It is not simply about learning how to set a price.
It is about developing the commercial judgement to determine whether an opportunity makes financial sense before committing your company.
- PREMIUM PROJECT SALES SYSTEM
Knowing how to design and install vertical gardens does not automatically turn that capability into a new business line.
You also need to know how to identify opportunities, present the solution effectively and communicate the value of the project to your client.
In this module, you will learn how to transform technical expertise into a structured commercial offering.
We will cover:
- how to introduce this new service to your existing clients;
- how to identify potential opportunities;
- how to prospect for new clients;
- how to identify customer needs;
- how to conduct a discovery call;
- how to present a project;
- how to structure a proposal;
- how to justify your pricing;
- how to handle objections;
- how to follow up;
- how to close a sale.
You will also gain access to scripts, proposal frameworks and sales resources that you can adapt to your company.
The aim is to ensure that you do not have to improvise every time a new opportunity arises.
And to help you move from saying “We also install vertical gardens” to presenting a professional, structured and commercially sound proposal for higher-value projects.
- IMPLEMENTATION AND ONGOING SUPPORT
Throughout the four months, you will not be working solely with pre-recorded content.
You will receive group mentoring to support the implementation of this new service within your company.
Weekly Implementation Calls
Each week, you will have access to a group implementation session.
These sessions are not designed to repeat the course lessons.
Instead, they will focus on real situations such as:
- technical questions;
- quotations;
- proposals;
- real-world cases;
- business opportunities;
- common mistakes;
- implementation decisions;
- project preparation;
- challenges arising during the process.
Sessions may be led by Ignacio Solano and/or qualified members of his team, depending on the type of case being discussed.
The aim is to help you move forward with professional support and overcome obstacles as they arise.
You will not have to wait until the end of the programme to start applying what you have learnt.
- SOLANO OPPORTUNITY NETWORK
Once you have acquired the necessary skills and preparation, you may become part of the professional network associated with Ignacio Solano.
From time to time, vertical garden and green system projects or opportunities may arise that his organisation cannot undertake directly.
Qualified participants may be considered for these opportunities based on factors such as:
- location;
- availability;
- capacity;
- level of preparation;
- project requirements;
- allocation criteria.
Participation in this network does not guarantee that you will receive projects.
Its purpose is to broaden professional opportunities within the network.
At the same time, the programme is designed to teach you how to generate your own opportunities rather than relying on a single source of demand.
The aim is to build a sustainable new business line within your company, not simply to wait for external projects to come your way.
- PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
Once you have completed the relevant training pathway, you will be able to state that you have trained under Ignacio Solano’s methodology, subject to the conditions established by the programme.
This recognition does not replace your own professional experience or constitute an independent professional certification.
Its purpose is to allow you to demonstrate that your learning and implementation process has followed a methodology developed through more than 20 years of professional experience in vertical gardens and plant-based systems.
You are not starting this new business line from scratch.
You are building on an established system, proven processes and years of professional experience.
- PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY AND NETWORK
Throughout the four months, you will be part of a community of professionals implementing the same type of business service.
You will be able to:
- ask questions;
- share your progress;
- discover projects developed by other participants;
- analyse real-world situations;
- exchange experiences;
- learn from other cases;
- build professional relationships within the industry.
The community is not intended merely as a space for conversation.
Its purpose is to create a professional environment where you can discuss decisions, learn from different implementation experiences and expand your network within the industry.
- EXCLUSIVE PROGRAMME BENEFITS
In addition to the technical and business training and group mentoring, this level includes specific features designed to accelerate implementation.
120-Day Implementation Roadmap
From the beginning, you will have a structured roadmap to guide your progress throughout the four months.
The implementation sequence will be:
LEARN → PREPARE → POSITION → QUOTE → SELL → DELIVER
The aim is to ensure that you always know what the next step is and what needs to be prepared before moving forward.
One-to-One Strategy Session with Ignacio Solano
Participants who meet the established commercial conditions will receive an initial individual strategy session with Ignacio Solano.
During this session, you may review:
- your company’s current situation;
- existing services;
- clients;
- capabilities;
- opportunities;
- objectives;
- main implementation challenges.
The aim is to adapt the 120-Day Roadmap to each participant’s specific circumstances.
- INVESTMENT
€2,000
For the complete four-month implementation programme.
Includes:
- 120-Day Implementation Plan;
- Solano Technical System;

- Profitability and Quotation System;
- Premium Project Sales System;

- Professional Community and Network.
First Edition / Customer Development (CustDev)
€1,500
Limited places for the first cohort, subject to specific participation and feedback requirements.
The reduced price applies to the initial validation and development phase of the programme.
It does not change the essential scope of the methodology or the structure of the implementation process.
- THE ULTIMATE GOAL
The aim of this programme is not for you to be able to say, four months from now:
“I have completed a vertical garden course.”
It is for you to be able to say:
“My company now knows how to professionally assess, quote, present, sell and deliver vertical garden projects.”
And when an opportunity worth €10,000, €15,000 or more arises, you will have:
- technical knowledge;
- financial judgement;
- tools;
- processes;
- a structured sales methodology;
- professional support;
- the ability to properly assess the opportunity.
The result we are working towards is for vertical gardens to become more than just a service you know about. We want them to become a professional business line that your company can develop with sound judgement, a clear structure and sustainable profitability.
