April 2011 ... Drew School Vertical Garden - San Francisco
That is amazing...and beautiful! I would love to live across the street and look out to see the plants trailing down the side of this building.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so fascinating! And thanks for sharing the shots from last year, too.
ReplyDeleteWooooooow... it's gorgeous and stunning in an almost post-apocalyptic sort of way. I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - wouldn't it be nice if green walls and roofs became much more commonplace in the near future? I'd love to see our towns and cities literally 'greened'!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, we will wait for the progress of these walls in this site, i am sure in a little while it will be full of blooms.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say amazing, but everyone else has already said that! I would like to know the mechanics of watering and fertilizing!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing! Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that??!! I saw a vertical gardening display in West Palm Beach, Florida. It's incredibly fascinating! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIncredible! Thank you Alice! You always show such great places!
