The building at Central Park in Sydney, Australia, is home to the world's tallest 'vertical garden' - a living tapestry of plants, flowers and vines stretching 150 meters high. The eye-catching installation was designed by French botanist Patrick Blanc in collaboration with Paris architects Ateliers Jean Nouvel.

The two dozen green wall panels that cover the building, some as high as 16-storeys, have been planted with over 100,000 plants. In addition residents on levels 29 to 33 of the complex's east tower have their own cantilevered Sky Garden that juts from the facade.

All of the plants and flowers in the vertical gardens are carefully maintained by a special hydroponic system, which automatically waters and fertilizes.[Photo/IC]
