World's Largest Vertical Garden

Today I saw a news post about the world's largest vertical garden. It is amazing and beautiful. The garden covers 1,263 square feet of wall at a shopping center in Italy. The website has more pictures and a description of how it was done.
Vertical Garden in Rozanno, Italy
A quote from the website:
The vertical garden of Rozanno is definitely a magnificent sight to behold, but its purpose extends beyond aesthetics. Shopping centre director Simone Rao said: “This is sustainable architecture, which can combine beauty with energy saving while respecting the environment.” The plant life growing on the walls of the building helps regulate the temperature inside, and by reducing direct sunlight, it helps keep energy consumption to a minimum. This man-made wonder also absorbs carbon dioxide and keeps ambient noise to a minimum.
