Vertical Garden Design is a complete encyclopaedia on the subject - and includes an interview with Patrick Blanc, the man credited as being the inventor of the vertical garden. In the interview, Mr Blanc shares his scientific research experience in the industry, illustrating successful projects, and offers his insight into and forecast of the industry's future trend. The book also provides guidance on how to design and build these amazing gardens, illustrating the three important parts in the process: Impacting Factors, Technical Systems and Cases.

Revolving around the technical systems, the second part elaborates on the working principles of two mature systems of vertical garden, rigid system and flexible system, and introduces the frequently used plants in the garden. The third part displays a collection of outstanding vertical garden designs from all over the world.
