Vertical gardens have caught on here as they have in American cities.
There are many of the same standard plants in North American landscapes coast to coast as there are in Buenos Aires.
People in the city with balconies typically have things growing. While marijuana is not legal here, I’ve seen two places with two or three plants on their balcony, and they say many others have them as well, with the knowledge that it would be up to the judge if there was ever a problem.
The previous administration installed planters in the bus medians and special lanes for the buses with elevated platforms for easy bus entry.
