Hanging Gardens of Paris


There are many different names for the "hanging" gardens designed by Patrick Blanc because it is a new feature used in architecture.  "Le mur vegetal" installed by Monsieur Blanc at the Quai Branley Museum in Paris can be admired without entering from the street.  Some plants had to be replaced when some frosty nights happened - which is not very often here in Paris but in general this "living wall" installation kept the same appearance it had in 2007 when the museum opened.


 I was thinking about the thick white snow cover over Boston and how pleasant it must be to see the green wall created by Patrick Blanc (shouldn't that be Patrick Vert?)
