This March, we returned to Mâcon for the annual maintenance of our vertical garden—an urban artwork inspired by graffiti that blends graphic lines with wild nature.

Graffiti has long been a source of inspiration at Mingzhu Nerval. We are drawn to its visual lines and bold language. Like graffiti, our vertical gardens are murals—living landscapes that are wild in spirit: unconfined, expressive, and deeply rooted in place.

The Mâcon green wall, located on Place aux Herbes, is a living canvas where each plant contributes to a graphic composition reminiscent of street art. At the same time, it supports local biodiversity and rewilds an urban space with texture, movement, and life.

We believe that gardens—like great art—should be alive, bold, and public. The Mâcon installation is a perfect example of how we merge sustainable botanical design with expressive, site-specific artistry to bring wild beauty into cities.
