Vertical Indoor Garden at Bardessono Hotel, California

The vertical indoor garden was designed for a space without irrigation or drainage at the platinum LEED certified Bardessono hotel in Yountville, California. It is a striking substitute for wasteful displays of cut flowers produced through a collaboration by Flora Grubb; a landscape designer, Kevin Smith and the architect Seth Boor.

“Our first instinct was to really pack the plants in,” Ms. Grubb said. “But then as we pulled them apart, they became so much more special, like abstracted sea creatures.”
