Shelly's Wall Garden

A couple months ago, Shelly observed that the back yard wall needed some color  . . . and she had just the idea.  We had been inspired by a living wall we saw in Madrid, Spain last year, and the Guayaquil airport just installed one indoors.

We ordered a felt covered series of plant pockets, hung them in the sun, and voila!  Cilantro, mint, lemon balm, basil, tomatoes, and some ornamentals.  As we are about to enter Guayaquil's rainy season, no watering will be needed, and we have our own spice and veggie garden growing on the wall.  More fun in the sun!  (and the rain).



Shelly, Shelly, how does your garden grow?
With lemon balm 'n cilantro,
and cherry tomatoes all in a row!
