Athenaeum Hotel, Piccadilly, London - April 2010

Another Patrick Blanc vertical garden, this time on the Athenaeum Hotel on London's Piccadilly; eight storeys high on one of the busiest streets in the city.
From their website: - "Using his pioneering planting techniques, Patrick Blanc has created another spectacular Living Wall at The Athenaeum. It uses more species of plants than any other Vertical Garden in the UK – including the world’s biggest single collection of Urticaceae. Patrick carefully collected the different species from dripping warm locations all over East Asia. Next, he propagated the plants in a nursery in the South of France then inserted the roots into the specially constructed, irrigated felt at The Athenaeum."
