About vertical gardens
The Vertical Garden by Patrick Blanc
The Vertical Garden, known as Le Mur Végétal in French, was conceived after many observations in natural environments. The Vertical Garden relies on a new way to grow plants without any soil.
Since its weight is very light, it is possible to set up the Vertical Garden on any wall, whatever its size.
The Vertical Garden can be implemented outdoor or indoor, in any climatic environment. The plant species selection is mainly set according to the prevailing climatic conditions. For indoor location, an artificial lighting is usually required. Watering and fertilisation are automated. The Vertical Garden acts as a phonic and thermic isolation system. It is also an air purification device.
The Vegetal Wall is protected in particular by copyright. Any reproduction, representation or exploitation of the Vegetal Wall or the image of the Vegetal Wall that is not strictly private and no commercial or promotional will require the preliminary and written authorization of Patrick Blanc
