I am really impressed with "vertical growing" people who have tiny gardens can grow food and flowers on a wall :)

this episode is also one hour long and the Gardner goes to paris to check out some vertical walls in public places that have vines and all sorts of flowers growing through them and up the wall, i thought it was awesome use of space and i was loving all the ideas...
Ive been to PARIS so many times, last year i went 5 times and the vertical growing is done just behind the EIFFEL tower :).. i have never seen it though, oh well next time i go ill make sure ill check it out maybe even take some pics ;)

Garden designer Joe Swift has a dream of city streets completely dominated by nature. But with Britain's green space actually being relentlessly squeezed, it takes the vision of France's pioneering botanist and designer Patrick Blanc to offer a truly original solution with his unique and stunning vertical gardens or 'murs vegetals'. Joe believes these gorgeous living tapestries offer hope even where there are No Grounds for Gardening. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00jdfjz/Gardeners_World_Specials_2009_No_Grounds_for_Garde ning_Design/
