Posted in Real Insights | May 5, 2008

Did you know that “vertical gardens” are all the rage? Also known as “green walls,” these verdant vertical displays of moss and ferns are seen indoors and out, in locations from New York to Seoul. Started by the French botanist Patrick Blanc, these green walls also work as air fresheners.

You’ll see why one designer says, “I love the symbol and meaning of creating new laws of gravity for the earth.”
