By
Real Estate Agent with COMPASS DRE# 01339266

We've all heard about "Living Walls" and "Green Roofs"  - but have you heard about an "Edible Wall"?

CNNMoney.com featured an interesting story about Mozza's "Edible Wall".

Mario Batali - one of the owners of Pizzeria Mozza - decided to install an Edible Wall in keeping with his philosophy of sustainability. The wall contains mint, endive, Chinese celery, rosemary, parsley, chicory, sage, and edible geraniums and is 72 square feet in size,

Not only is the wall aesthetically pleasing, it's useful too.

An Edible Wall is "Urban Gardening" at it's best!

Stewart...

I love using herbs as ornamentals and they are great for the kitchen too!

Hi Stewart... what a great idea and one that has more than paid for itself with the "free" PR it has generated for the restaurant.

Stewart - How cool is that. I always enjoy Chef Batali when he is on the tube - this could be worth checking out next time I am in LA.

What a great idea.  Look like anything he is associated with is a huge hit.

Very clever use of limited space.  Maybe this will be the "wave of the future".  Thanks for the video

Mario Batali is a really smart businessman - Since installing this "Edible Wall" he's had huge publicity.

And he happens to be a brilliant chef too.
