Check out Patrick Blanc's beautiful vertical gardens currently on show at the International Design Centre in Melbourne.
This year's festival has the theme Strength in Numbers, and celebrates both collaboration and brilliant solutions to pressing contemporary issues. French artist and scientist Patrick Blanc's vertical garden, transforms a 47 square metre wall into a living and permanent installation.
"This garden needs no soil, and only a small amount of water. It has its own irrigation system. Cities are developing at such a fast rate, and we no longer have room for gardens. He's not just presenting an option, but a beautiful, practical option. The environmental message can be communicated in so many forms, and I think having statistics thrown at us is not the only way."
