Patrick Blanc: Vertical Garden

Patrick Blanc creates vertical gardens, an intelligent use of otherwise redundant space which is part art, part ecosystem. From this article at Wired Magazine:

“Eighty percent of the plants at the Athenaeum are evergreen; 20 percent are seasonal. They are planted according to environmental demands — those that need more sun, for example, go up top. Ferns go below, where there's more shade.”
