botanics.

I've just come back from a walk through my backyard bush. I've been going down there every couple of weeks for the past 10 years, and today was the furthest I've gone.



Throughout the week, I had been checking out the website of a new development in the city's downtown. It's called 'central park'. You can check the website out here. There were some really interesting features about the place, but the one which interested me the most is the hanging/vertical gardens which is a collaboration between Jean Nouvel and French artist and botanist Patrick Blanc.

This is what the proposed gardens will look like






and here are some other beautiful vertical gardens I've found on the net






This stuff is really getting me into landscape and architectural design.
