Joost Bakker's Vertical Garden

We have shown vertical gardens and green walls before, but we love the simplicity of the vertical garden by Australian Artist Joost Bakker. (not to be confused with the talented Vancouver architect Joost Bakker of Hotson Bakker) who uses leaf and flower, raw steel and discared objects among his construction materials- "I'm not really into luxurious finishes, I like using things that people perceive as ugly." Jorge at Inhabitat notes such systems are great in small spaces: "the perfect backdrop for any office or apartment that needs and extra bit of greening but can’t afford the space required for them (when you can’t build out, build up!)." ::Vertical Garden from Schiavello via ::Inhabitat
