Stockholm International Fairs

 

The vertical gardens at Stockholm Interational Fairs were built between 2008-2011 as part of a gradual renovation of two long corridors. Each wall is between 15 – 25 meters long and the total area around 220 square meters. More than a hundred varieties of plants were used, with in particular many kinds of Begonia, Streptocarpus and Peperomia among others.
