We’ve covered Patric Blanc’s vertical gardens before but here’s another peak at a building facade he’s created. Simply stunning.

“I knew of Patrick Blanc’s work far before I knew of him.  I had happened across a few of his installations during various travels.  Every time, I was stopped in my tracks in recognition of something truly amazing.  His vertical garden walls get me every time.
