VERTICAL / (vur’ ti kǝl / adj./ Perpendicular to the plane of the horizon. The next direction in urban gardening, epitomized by the work of Patrick Blanc.
When I hear the word “gardening,” I think horizontal, ground level – not vertical. However, what an interesting concept…
I came across this excerpt from from a blog by Alex Browne & Pilar Viladas- Talk- May 1, 2010 that I thought was interesting: “It’s hard to plant a garden when you don’t even have a yard, so we decided to go vertical.”
Today, it’s all about taking it to the next level… thinking inside the box, outside of the box, and beyond the box.
