There has been a buzz in the gardening world for the last few years about Patrick Blanc, a man with a green wall vision. Many of you have heard of him or at least seen his work in magazines or on television. But for those of you who have not, you are in for a treat.
It is hard to describe the magnitude of what he creates, so it is best to just show you. This British video from the Chelsea Flower Show of 2008 explains Patrick Blanc's concept and includes an interview and footage of several of his living wall creations.
Thanks for posting. It is wonderful to see designers just exude enthusiasm for what they do. Patrick Blanc is always a hoot to see.

I know Kat. He is a character. And you've gotta love the green hair thing he does sometimes!

Theresa,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful clip. Patrick Blanc is a visionary and seeing his beautiful buildings in Paris was like taking a mini vacation this morning.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!
