Alex Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Beautiful and responsible living! I love it! Too bad plants in my home are basically walking the plank.

Hi Anthony,

You're welcome... I read about this and just had to share. Such a great business idea, and potentially a really radical way to improve our urban environment. Green roofs watch out. Green walls are here!

Hi Bridget,

Thanks for the comment. ...I'm surprised that I have not yet heard of many of these popping up in the states - especially California.

I haven't seen anything like this before. Very interesting. I wonder if it would work here in New Hampshire with all the cold and snow.

That is so awesome! I wonder thought what kind of upkeep it requires, and how much of a mess it leaves.

JaneAnne,

I just added it a little earlier today. Thanks for the invite!

Tiffany,

From what I understand the upkeep and mess are minimal... but I guess it would be dependent on the plant species that are being used. Thanks for the comment!

Alex,

That is something to be looked into. Supposedly there is quite a bit you can do in the interior with plants which can completely transform the flavor of a house. Or any building. Good idea.

Alex - Aren't these awesome! I found a planter in a catalog that can be mounted on a wall, and it has a way of keeping the dirt in and the water flows down through it - not to expensive and I really want to try it out! I think this guy's work is amazing! Garden Design magazine did a layout last fall and it was beautiful... My vision is to buy an office building for our company and have the front entrance covered with a planted wall! Great blog! Thanks for getting this option out there --
