French artist and botanist Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens are living installations. The lush wall plantings, which are often several stories tall, require no soil and come equipped with a self-sufficient watering system. You can see Blanc's work at the Pershing Hall Hotel and Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, the Marithé and François Girbaud store in New York and the Hotel Byblos in Saint Tropez, among other places.
