Vertical Gardens


Patrick Blanc, a French botanist and artist, has been pioneering living murals of green. His hanging gardens can be found around the world. To plant this vertical garden, he begins with multiple layers of support which are then woven with irrigation. As the plants grow, the show changes from season to season. These two examples show the progression.
