External Site: Vertical Garden: Patrick Blanc[info]
Patrick Blanc is a botanist and creator of the Vertical Garden (Mur Vegetale). The ‘Inspiration’ section of his website contains short films of him on plant-hunting expeditions in locations such as limestone cliffs in Borneo, the Osa peninsula in Costa Rica, and looking for the Begonia Blancii in Palawan. Some of the films are in French and others in English or with English subtitles. The site also links to a video lecture he gave on his technique of vertical gardening at the California Academy of Sciences in 2011.
