Patrick Blanc is the father of the greenwall. He came up with the system that I use. I have seen his walls in person in Paris and they are amazing. There are many imitators out there but no system, to my knowledge, works as well as Blanc's. When I say works as well the factors in my mind are cost, maintenance, beauty, and longevity.

A great book by Patrick Blanc
A documentary about Patrick Blanc (I could only find it posted in
The New York Times article that introduced me to Patrick Blanc
Just a comment, the documentary is not in Spanish, but in Catalan.
ReplyDeleteHi Matt,
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of building my own living wall here in Phoenix,AZ. My question is on the Moisture mat, how much was the shipping from the Green Roof Solutions company? I prefer the dark color of the MRM 14 over others I have found locally.
Thanks
@johnier
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how much the shipping was but the material is very light so I don't think it was that much.
