The Orchid Show: Patrick Blanc’s Vertical Gardens at The New York
Botanical Garden will be unlike any other orchid show ever seen. That is
because the guest designer for the 10th annual exhibition is Patrick
Blanc, world-renowned French botanist and artist who will transform the
Enid A. Haupt Conservatory with his spectacular walls of living foliage.
Using thousands of orchids and companion plantings as his palette, Blanc
introduces towering spectacles of tropical life to the landmark
Conservatory. Blanc, celebrated for his innovative vertical gardens and
signature “green walls,” abandons the constraints of gravity in his
cutting-edge approach to horticulture. In an explosion of alluring design
and fragrance, exotic plant walls rise high above, creating this season’s
not-to-be missed exhibition for garden lovers, orchid fans, and those
desiring a one-day tropical retreat.
