The Chicago Botanic Garden presents Patrick Blanc of France in a discussion about his amazing living vertical gardens. Renowned for having injected biodiversity back into built-up areas, Mr. Blanc has installed vertical gardens internationally in hotels, restaurants, lounges, museums, showrooms, and numerous other public buildings. A book signing will follow his lecture. This program is possible thanks to the support of Alliance Francaise de Chicago and Air France, and to the participation of the Cultural Services at the French Consulate in Chicago and the Chicago Architectural Foundation. www.verticalgardenpatrickblanc.com
