Now that our world is becoming more and more urbanised we see a growing desire for green living environments that finds expression in initiatives and developments such as roof gardens, green ornaments in towns and urban agriculture. Jongkind’s urban substrates offer you the possibility of growing healthy plants on almost any hard ground, making them the ideal solution for many of today’s developments.
