Mercedes’ vertical garden at the V&A Waterfront
Posted on 21. Feb, 2012 by Jonathan Cherry.
The huge grain silos that used to be the backdrop for Sunday evenings at Bertie’s Landing back in the 90′s are undergoing a construction make over. Countless renditions of Crowded House and the Smashing Pumpkins tracks reverberating against the concrete have made it necessary for them to turn it into something else.
So far, a wooden sailing ship has been uncovered on site (probably one of Bertie’s old yachts) and a vertical garden linked to Mercedes Benz has been spotted.
The vertical garden or “living wall” concept involves installing a light steel grid up against a vertical surface, into which recycled plastic bottles are inserted and filled with soil, plants and flowers.
In 1988, French botanist Patrick Blanc installed the first vertical garden at the Museum of Science and Industry in Paris. Twenty-one years later, this type of garden was voted one of the top 50 inventions of all time by Time magazine.
Ship or garden – you’ve got all the bases covered when you go have a look.

On the subject of World Cup + Advertising – the BBC have and interesting recipe for how you too can make a cracking World Cup advert. Can’t believe the Carlsberg World Cup advert cost them £750,000. Eish! They should have made it here – would have been much more reasonable.

That thing we suspected may be an ad – is one…
