The secrets of plants that cling, grip, and climb, from the
inventor of the vertical garden. Patrick Blanc, an artist with a
green thumb, has created dozens of his admired botanical tapestries
in public and private spaces around the world, including the Jean
Nouvel?designed Quai Branly Museum in Paris, the Marithe
& Francois Girbaud boutique in Manhattan, Herzog & De
Meuron?s Caixa Forum in Madrid, the aquarium in Genoa, the
Siam Paragon mall in Bangkok, and the 21st Century Museum of Art in
Kanazawa, Japan. In this luscious, oversized, all-color book, he
explains how to create plant walls using over 1,000 plants, drawing
on his observation of natural milieus, his technique of growing on
vertical surfaces, his savoir faire, and his passion for
plants.
