Gardening Ingenuity in the City – A Vertical Earth Garden Makes the Most out of Limited Urban Space in Encinitas

Clever bit of sculpture, isn’t it?
I was out touring some lofts in Encinitas recently, and taking photos of the Arts Alive Banner Project when I spied this vertical earth garden outside a new restaurant at Pacific Station in downtown Encinitas – Solace and the Moonlight Lounge.
Vertical Earth Gardens (VEG) presents a clever, space-saving way in the “city” to grow a garden for this restaurant’s everyday use, something that many people could affordably take advantage of in those spaces where a traditional vegetable or herb garden won’t work – balconies, patios and perhaps even on the wall.
