Eastern Railway has installed vertical wall garden at Sealdah station. This will help in purifying the contaminated air in this heavily crowded area with two million of passengers commuting every day.
The vertical wall garden at Sealdah having the size of 110 ft. length and 18 ft. from ground level. The wall garden has 5440 plants arrayed to display a multi-colour unique pattern. The plants in the garden will improve the quality of air in the environment as it has larger surface area to exchange gases and water with surroundings thereby benefitting us in reducing carbon dioxide level, increasing humidity, reducing level of pollutants, sucking up injurious toxins, reducing airborne dust levels, keeping temperature down,  reducing noise from busy areas as their leaves absorb, diffract & reflect background noise and thus reduce mental stress & anxiety.
The vertical garden at Sealdah has been set up with the state-of-the-art technology using drip irrigation for the garden. Sealdah Division has also planned to get the garden irrigated through rain water harvesting to preserve valuable water resources.
