I think the concept of the garden is great and something more people need to embrace in their homes and businesses. I certainly hope whatever they pick to plant is native, or at least is pragmatic beyond shading and sunning.

Here is a wonderful example of a smaller scale (definitely not over the top, Dick) application of vertical gardens for smaller commercial and retail environments: http://www.vertical-gardens.net . They are going to build one about twenty feet high in the city hall of the town I live in.

I agree that this project is a bit over the top. It will look a bit strange in the winter if they don’t choose the correct plants. Wind, falling plant parts, maybe snow or ice should be considered as well. Ferns of some sort may be the best choice. An inside wall would help with air quality,

i would think that chicken wire or some sort of small trellis would support it, most importantly you need to know what these plants are, some may be specimens personally harvested off of cliff faces by the artist.
