ATHENAEUM HOTEL

While in London last spring, I came upon this spectacular vertical garden.  The system, invented and engineered by French botanist Patrick Blanc, allows the garden and building to exist in harmony, not causing any of the masonry issues associated with a traditional ivy.  I was taken with the diversity of species and combination of colours.  Although the Canadian climate could not allow such a wall, these structures can be installed in interiors, providing both beauty and better air quality.
