I enjoyed reading about how french botanist Patrick Blanc plants walls vertically...and has become the latest architectural wunderkind by designing vertical gardens that hang from walls, balconies, and even elevator shafts : http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/oct2006/gb20061004_381966.htm?chan=innovation_architec... a great read and a good slide show !
If you are searching for fresh ideas, a great place to browse is Quebec's International Garden festival's web site.... Over 200 examples of creative solutions to be viewed in the photo library ( reproduction is not allowed sorry!) http://www.jardinsmetis.com/english/festival/index.htm
