Vertical Garden

With little space for a dream garden, Joan and William Feldman were offered a clever alternative by landscape designers Mia Lehrer and Holly Kuwayama,"... to hang a garden on the wall, a leafy picture that could thrive without much soil or water."

 
 

Featured in Metropolitan Home this living painting hosts various succulents including echeverias and aeoniums, sedums and kalanchoes that require little water and provide a lush addition to the Feldman's small entryway.

I'm so glad to see succulents & vertical gardening catching on. I'm also fond of both.

I love this look, but I still don't understand how the plants stay in.

TRUE BLUE, they probably set up a coarse wire mesh framework with growing medium in it, plant the plants, and let them grow with it flat on the ground. After a few weeks (maybe a little longer, given the size), the plants have set out enough roots that they'll hold when the frame is set upright. Google for how-tos on succulent wreaths, and you'll see the same basic principle.
