Vertical Gardens - Replay Store, Barcelona

As if all the Gaudi in the vicinity wasn't enough temptation, I'm ready to pack my bags for Barcelona so I can ogle this vertical garden installation by Michael Hellgren for Replay Stores in person.

The artist/designer notes that this vertical garden installation was a little more challenging because the top half of the wall receives lots of direct sun while the bottom half receives none, requiring a whole different set of plants in each area.

Vertical Gardens Slideshow

In a futile attempt to avoid doing my own yard work, I present a wonderful slide show of vertical gardens put together by Garden Design Magazine.

Some images just because posts with no eye candy are meh.
