A Green Affair: Helga Piaget’s Flowers4Art
Monte-Carlo’s Hôtel Métropole played host to a dazzling crowd this past weekend as the inaugural Flowers4Art took root, a three-day event curated by Helga Piaget, the passionate founder of the Monegasque association Passion Sea. The initiative, aimed at promoting sustainability through vertical gardens and green urban solutions, drew a powerful mix of eco-visionaries, designers, and patrons, all united by a shared commitment to Monaco’s greener future.
Among the most notable attendees was His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, who lent his presence and personal endorsement to the cause. In between his duties and his own contributions to the latest issue of The Monegasque Magazine—which notably featured the Prince on its cover with an article on the Olympics—Prince Albert took a moment to praise Piaget for her tireless efforts in fostering eco-consciousness in the Principality.
Flowers4Art was an immersive showcase of cutting-edge green technologies—from moss-based vertical gardens to water-efficient architectural designs—demonstrating the seamless integration of nature into urban spaces. And as Monaco continues to champion sustainability, the event was a natural extension of the Principality’s broader environmental goals.
Students from the International School of Monaco and Françoise Nicolas Barré’s classes also played an integral role, exploring the exhibits and engaging with Passion Sea’s “World Water Flag” project, which has been advocating for global water conservation since 2019.
The highlight of the event came when renowned biologist Patrick Blanc, the pioneering force behind vertical gardening, shared his vision for a greener world—one in which urban spaces can flourish, regardless of their location or climate.
For Piaget, Flowers4Art was not just a celebration of nature’s beauty but a clarion call to transform Monaco into a global leader in sustainable innovation. And in a poignant moment, she also presented Prince Albert with her latest article from The Monegasque Magazine, a fitting exchange between two of Monaco’s most ardent advocates for progress and preservation.
In the end, Flowers4Art wasn’t merely about art or flowers—it was about shaping the future, one green idea at a time.
