Patrick Blanc’s Vertical Gardens is the hot new trend in gardening. The lush wall plantings, which are often several stories tall, require no soil and come equipped with a self-sufficient watering system. The vertical garden could rather be called eco-art, or greener architecture consisting of a variety of plants trailing gently up any interior or outside wall.
Blanc’s works can be seen at the Pershing Hall Hotel and Musee du Quai Branly in Paris, the Marithe and Francois Girbaud store in New York and the Hotel Byblos in Saint Tropez, among other places.

Far away from the fancy horticultural show, Patrick Blanc overgrows the vertical surfaces of buildings in the most beautiful way. His gardens are ingenious works of art, planted without soil on a durable frame of PVC, metal, and non-biodegradable felt, with a built-in pump watering system that allows them to thrive for years.
No doubt, Blanc has created customized living walls all over the world.
