The Patrick Blanc Vertical Garden

In some places gardens and live plants are a luxury that just isn't realistic because they need soil, water, and most of all they need lots of room. In cities especially, where the green would be most prized amidst the concrete and tile, is where plants and flowers are the hardest to grow, right? Maybe not.

Using a system that allows plants to grow without any soil, The Vertical Garden by Patrick Blanc allows for natural living beauty in the otherwise most uninhabitable of places: the very walls of buildings, indoors or out. Watering and fertilization are automatic, so it's almost completely hassle free. Patrick Blanc has created customized living walls all over the world.

I wonder how my landlord would feel if I had something like this installed in my apartment?

There's no reason not to garden in cities; there are plants for every condition except dark closets. And "living wall" systems are not unusual and are in fact now available in better garden shops or online stores. You can indeed do this. I've written about it at my website http://www.simplegiftsfarm.com and on my blog http://www.douggreensgarden.com Good luck.
