There are three vertical gardening planters in the gallery below. All three systems have been used in both residential and commercial applications with much success.
The first few images are of Grow Vert living wall panels by Bright Green. There are two different sized panels (10 and 45), and each are planted, then hung on the wall using their included mounting bracket. These planters must be planted before they’re hung vertically. This allows you to plan out your wall on the ground before it’s hung. It also gives the roots chance to establish before the planter goes on the wall.
The next product is of the florafelt vertical gardening panels. These panels are made from synthetic felt that will never rot and is from 100% recycled plastic water bottles. These panels are installed first, then planted. The mini pocket panels are smaller and designed for succulents. The full pocket panels are designed for any other plants – people have even had success growing strawberries and herbs! The full pocket panels also come with ‘root wrappers’ that allow you to easily add/remove/change your plants after the install.
The last images are from Woolly Pocket living walls. These ‘pockets’ are very easy to install and plant. The indoor pockets have a water tight reservoir that is 100% leak-proof.

These are really awesome..does the watering forbid them from being inside?
The Woolly Pockets have waterproofing built right into them so they can be inside right away. The Grow Vert Panels and Florafelt Panels need to have a bit of waterproofing done before they can be used inside. However, you can get the Grow Vert panels with a frame and watering basin that can be used inside easily – no waterproofing required. Also, there is a Floraframe product that is also designed for indoor use and the bottom part of the frame collects the extra water and drains it away wherever you’d like.
Do you know of anyone who makes wool felt vertical planters?
The Woolly Pocket and Florafelt products are made from felt. You can see them at uzplanters.com
Very interesting! Especially for small spaces – and decorative! Nice!
I love this and am really interested in the whole concept.
I love this idea! It is very creative to fill up a wall or if you live in a small space. Great stumble.
this is beautiful and i love it
What about for in a terrarium? This would really provide atmosphere and humidity
Is it possible to make a vertical garden that is in the shape of an upside-down ‘L’ or would the water just drip off of the overhang part?
It depends on what system you use. The Woolly Pockets have a built in liner so would be able to make your L and you wouldn’t have to worry about leaks.
Hi! I was thinking of making my own but maybe a permanent vertical garden, but then I’m wondering about maintenance, do I have to fertilize the soil regularly, or resoil them once in a while?
Hi Bahia!
You don’t really have to add soil to the planters. You will have to fertilize them every so often.. maybe a few times a year. Not much. You can fertilize easily using some water soluble fertilizer so that the plants are fertilized as you water them.
Great info and great pictures :) I’m just getting turned onto Living Walls and Vertical Gardens ad I’m loving what I am finding out.
And Gavin nice sharing of info and knowledge
