Green space is hard to come by in big cities, and who better to rectify that than a company coming out of one of the biggest cities, Hokkaido Sanyu Corp. from Tokyo?

The company has created River Re Wall, a [wall garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borealis-series) made primarily of moss. The panels also have an irrigation system which ensures the panels stay green. The irrigation system also creates the faint sound of water, which adds to the outdoor feeling of the installation.

Priced between $7,000 and $26,000, the panels create a [garden atmosphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden) for those without [outdoor space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/central-yards) or without a green thumb.
