We have seen vertical gardens from Patrick Blanc, but nothing quite like this before. The 8-stroy anti-gravity forest features more than 260 plant species and more than 12,000 plants overall.
The garden, which was designed for the Athenaeum Hotel in London, uses synthetic felts as a soil substitute for plants to grow through them.
Of his upwards reaching creations, Patrick Blanc says "I leave horizontal gardens to others. I only think vertically."
