Fabulous Green

Puppet Barbuda discovered Vertical Lawns, below, in Italy. Vertical Lawns are over 2,000 years old. Modern interpretation of Vertical Lawn, below.
DISGUSTING.

Puppet Barbuda is incredulous a wall of 'green': involving 18 wheeler trucks, greenhouses, soil with peat moss & etc, attractive to weeds, needs watering, will die if it becomes shaded, containers made from an oil base, labor/expense to attach containers to wall... is shown off as desirable.

Who is Puppet Barbuda? Landscape Design critic of course. If movies, books, paintings, music, clothes, perfumes, video games, & etc, have loving critics, shouldn't landscape design?

    Now, virginia creeper, that's a different issue.

  2. Oh thank goodness! For a second there I thought you were posting the modern interpretation as something *good* and then I came to my senses!

  3. The W Atlanta - Midtown has a modern vertical garden at the 14th Street Entrance to the lobby. Look up from where Juniper hit 14th.
