Enjoy a unique training experience with Ignacio Solano, the leading expert in Vertical Ecosystems.

For more than fourteen years, Ignacio Solano, biologist and creator of Paisajismo Urbano, has explored the rainforests of different continents, studying their ecological dynamics in depth. From this experience comes his revolutionary proposal: vertical ecosystems. This idea goes beyond the traditional vertical garden by incorporating the natural interactions between plants and microfauna, accurately replicating the biological balances found in the wild.

His passion for living things has led him to venture into the lush jungles of Chocó, discover the biological richness of Réunion Island, and explore territories as diverse as the ecosystems of Ecuador. These experiences have not only given him a deep and practical understanding of ecosystems, but have also been key to perfecting his technique in the creation of vertical gardens.

‘I want to build a world full of cities with green hearts.’

We live in an urban environment where many children only know nature from photographs or drawings. That is why my goal is clear: to fill our cities with life, greenery and biodiversity. To turn grey walls into vertical jungles and restore our connection with nature.

The more people we have creating vertical ecosystems, the sooner we will be able to transform our cities into spaces with a green soul.

That’s why I want to give you the opportunity to be part of this change. With our methodology and exclusive Paisajismo Urbano patents, you can design your own ecosystem from scratch, without wasting years on trial and error. Everything you need to start building your future is right here.

Vertical ecosystems are the future of sustainable development.

I took the vertical gardens course with them. It was a great experience, and I left with a wealth of new knowledge. They are undoubtedly the best in Spain.

An incredible experience. I have been fortunate and delighted to be able to take the specialist course in vertical gardens, and both the course and Ignacio's teaching have been excellent.

I took the course in Barcelona with my father in 2022. It was a very enriching experience. We wanted to learn new styles of gardening, and we certainly left after an intense week with a wealth of knowledge. Thanks to Ignacio, his team, and the courses he teaches, we were able to learn something fascinating: the world of vertical gardening. It's wonderful to be able to put it into practice and see how rewarding it is to see the results.

Super professional, I met them through the vertical garden at CaixaForum in Valencia. I took their vertical gardening course and set up my first garden 😍 it looks as if the plants are gigantic. Highly recommended if you like bio-architecture or landscaping. It has opened up a whole new world for me, one that I didn't know existed and that fascinates me.

I attended the course that Ignacio Solano taught in Madrid last week. It was a real treat...!!! The way he conveys his knowledge, based on his personal experiences and previous studies. I highly recommend it, it's on another level...!!!
