    Patrick Blanc's Vertical Garden at the Quai Branly Museum

    So ever since I saw the vertical garden at Pizzeria Mozza I’ve really been in to the idea of living green walls that are covered in vegetation. For starters, vertical gardens look really amazing but they also open up urban gardening opportunities for families that don’t have fresh foods readily available in their communities. That’s really exciting to me.

    The garden pictured below is part of the Quai Branly Museum in Paris. It was designed by Patrick Blanc, a botanist working at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, where he specializes in plants from tropical forests. He’s believed to be the guy who brought vertical gardens to the Western world.
