Vertical gardens

Florist Flora Grubb created these vertical succulent gardens, and she sells kits in her San Francisco shop. Seems like a good time for the word "rad."

  14. Definitely rad! My workplace (which is a university) just installed a "living wall" which is a three-storey-high wall full of living plants that help filter the air.

  19. Fantastic! I've been a bit obsessed with living walls ever since I saw the amazing huge one which was installed in London's Anthropology shop. I wonder if it would be that hard to re-create a mini one at home?

    ReplyDelete

  28. Joanna --- Get out! I didn't go to TASIS, but Franklin, the teeny American college nearby. We always saw the TASIS kids about though and I wish I'd known about it and made my way to Lugano sooner! I have a feeling your brother and I would get along swimmingly. What a neat thing to do. I went to an all-girls Catholic boarding school in California in fact---an entirely different experience I assure you : ) Small world. Hope you had the chance to visit him in Switzerland!

  60. Great idea, how to bring a part of nature into our homes. If you live in a big city and you are for green you should have something like this. Hard to imagine but it can work. This vertical garden is not only a decorative accessory for your house or flat, it put a bit life and freshness into it. It doesn’t need much space and looks amazing. Thank you for this inspiring idea.

    Best regards,
    Julie

  61. Flora Grubb is the most fabulous nursery/shop. Went there for the first time last year and will most definitely be back as often as possible. I thought this celebration of succulents was genius! And about the only thing I can't seem to kill. Heh.

  62. I've never seen anything like it before!

  76. What a statement! I've seen something similar in an eco-conscious reno to a 120-year old house in Toronto. The owners made a green wall that was larger and deeper (approximately 5ftx3ft) that not only functioned as an air filter that cleaned the air without batteries or a power supply, but also as a visibile remark about their eco-conscious position on home renovation and integration.
