Each side of the vertical garden comes with a unique design. According to SayTrees, all pillars of the flyover will soon be covered with these gardens.

And the benefits of this biodiversity are manifold. As described by SayTrees, the gardens will help reduce urban heat island effect and smog; purify outside polluted air; act as a sound-proofing barrier; create a healthy habitat for birds and insects; increase real estate value; and much more.

The project was cleared by the Bangalore Elevated Tollway Pvt Ltd. and took four months of meticulous planning.
