What an amazing gardening-video, published by "Nowness, for the culturally curious"... Enjoy.
The Zurich Succulent Plant Collection is one of the most impressive of its kind, covering more than 4750sqm and displaying over 6500 plants. We visited the collection and brought our good old 35mm camera.

We fight an endless battle with nature in an urban environment. Look out of your window, unless you're a very fastidious gardener there's bound to be a weed cheekily growing between your paving slabs. If all human life vanished overnight, maybe there's been a terrible virus or a meteor has wiped us all out, plants would soon take over our towns, our motorways and our homes. Scary thought eh!
Sometimes though, these rogue plants actually look stunning; occasionally when a plant goes to seed, a seed lands somewhere it shouldn't but ends up really suiting the location. I've got dry stone walls in my garden, and sometimes a pretty marigold sprouts forth from a crack between the stones, it looks so pretty I don't have the heart to remove it, and instead I call it a feature and pretend it was intentional.
Taking control of your urban environment by adding plants can really make a difference to a small part of a concrete jungle, adding style and sophistication to the most boring built up area.
