Do-It-Yourself Vertical Garden!
Lower-light side of our indoor vertical garden at Flora Grubb Gardens
The Woolly Pocket system is flexible, breathable, and modular. We have the components in stock at the store so you can check them out in person, and they are available in our web shop. They are inexpensive, lightweight, and can go indoors or out. Bonus: They are made out of recycled water bottles.
There is a short how-to video here. If you come in to the shop, we are ever so happy to help you select plants and teach you everything we’ve learned about caring for a wall garden.

I like that you used plant materials that are slightly different from the norm found on vertical gardens (sempervirums, ferns, etc.). This is a lovely way to fill an empty space, color a wall or as a room divider and I can’t wait to do one myself. Your work and your blog are inspiring. Check out my blog at http://www.carlsengdesigns.blogspot.com where I post musings and info related to gardening and landscape design up here in the high desert of Central Oregon, quite different from the Bay Area and full of challenges and thusly opportunities.
Thanks for the great post. Tanya

What are your thoughts on how to water something of this size if it were kept indoors. can a simple misting work? Also, is the soil inside the wooly pockets, or sphagnum moss…maybe a combo of both?

Incredible! Wish I lived closer because it would be a blast to visit your store. You all are so talented. Thanks for the inspiration!

What a beautiful installation! It seems that you’ve moved from painting with plants to creating sculpture!
I think I like the side with the dark wolly pockets more, they don’t seem to compete with the plants for attention. Is there a reason that you used different colored pockets on different sides?

That’s incredible! Do you need extra reinforcement to support the extra weight?
