When it comes to foliage, sometimes it’s better to just grow up. That’s our consensus after meeting with living wall expert Miguel Nelson, founder of Woolly Pockets, a Los Angeles-based company that makes hanging and freestanding “pockets” for plants. Nelson’s containers literally pocket a plant while adhering to any wall—indoor or outdoor—with just a couple of screws.
We sat down with Nelson to discuss exactly what a vertical garden is, the benefits of having one and how in just three steps (and five minutes) you can create your first vertical garden for your home.
