The end goal is the beauty and joy
brought to the human experience

The mission is to help people remember
that plants improve life

and that perhaps…
besides filtering the air…
they may also filter our minds.

Edmundo  “Mundo”  Ortega was born and raised in Mexico  and resides in the United States.
His inspiration comes from the transition of his experiences…. from the forestry department in Mexico....to the fruit industry on the west coast
and then to east coast commercial construction where he observed the loss and lack of greenery in urban environments.

Mundo and designer Dianne Rohrer met when they joined forces to create her urban garden. Working together, and now married, they co-founded Mundo Verde Ortega
and are devoted to developing methods that meld the beauty of the natural environment into vertical urban structures. 

The work utilizes living plant material as the medium and explores growing vertically given the tight constraints of urban spaces.
Together, they research and develop  - scale, species, light levels, irrigation and materials. Water is recycled through recirculation and many of the walls utilize species
listed in NASA’s  Clean Air Study as those that absorb toxins in the air. 

The design and fabrication are  MUNDO’S  PURE  ARTISTRY.
