When I was visiting a friend in Colorado she took me to the home of a lovely artist that had completely refurbished her house in a brilliant, d-i-y fashion. I remember walking up to the entry and seeing a wall of blooming plants literally hanging from the side of the house. It was a fun, beautiful burst of life; A completely fresh presentation that instantly made a statement.
"A vertical garden, sometimes called a living wall, is an organized system of plants that grow vertically up a wall, fence, or other vertical surface. Vertical gardens are a beautiful way to show off plants, cover an unsightly wall, or create privacy in a courtyard. Because they are hung vertically, vertical gardens hardly take up any space." Perfect for an organic herb garden, an outdoor edible farm or... a wonderful, green, living wall. Love it!
