World’s Largest Vertical Garden

A shopping center near Milan is claiming an unusual record — the biggest vertical garden in the world, covering a surface of 13,600 square feet with a total of 44,000 plants. The huge garden, which was inaugurated in 2010 but was only certified as a record this week, was designed by architect Francesco Bollani who headed up a creative team that included an architecture studio from Montpellier in France.” w/ photos
