Originally designed by renowned botanist Patric Blanc, the Vertical Garden, also known as Le Mur Vegetal in French, was conceived after many observations in natural environments. It relies on a new way to grow plants without any soil, and can be implemented outdoors or indoors in climatic environment. The organic architecture is created by sprinkling plant seeds on a fabric layer which allows plants to grow naturally across the available space. The process of watering and fertilization is automated.
The 620 sqm2 Vertical Garden includes 20,500 beautiful plants from over 101 different species. It’s a perfect combination between nature, and art. It uses a water based filtering system that does not require any replacement, and purifies the surrounding air quality.
