If you spend 5 seconds at Far Out Flora, and then you look at Tin's garden, you can see how these three gardeners found an instant kinship. I love little stories of how people connect over plants, pillows, or whatever personal interests we have.
Tin's Garden is a joyful personal expression painted in succulents, bromeliads and epiphytes that has creatively evolved over time (that is not a spelling error btw, he just hasn't yet found and collected the 'F' to fully and correctly spell San Francisco!). I am in love!
You can read more about this garden, and Megan and Matti's visit at Far Out Flora. Be sure to click through to their Flickr set for more of Tin's garden.

Can you please tell me how you keep the plants from falling out when vertical? I just did a similar wall garden and the second I moved it to a vertical position, many of the plants fell out. Help me!
JillOlivia -- that is a good question....I haven't planted a vertical garden like this myself so I am not sure of the answer. Many of the vertical gardens that you see are done using special planters that do have mechanisms for holding the plants in (i.e. they are tipped, troughs, fabric, etc. etc) --- but this more homegrown technique is not one I have tried.... you should check out the book 'Garden Up!' - by Susan Morrison and Rebecca Sweet (http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Smart-Vertical-Gardening-Spaces/dp/1591864925) I think it has some good guidance for creating this look. - Rochelle
@JillOlivia: Here is a handy how-to http://www.bhg.com/gardening/container/plans-ideas/make-a-living-succulent-picture/
I´m sooo in love with succulents! will be doing a few of these succulent frames soon!
Hi @JillOlivia: The succulents are held in place with a chicken wire screen. Succulents are very shallow-rooted, and will do well even with just an inch or two of space for their roots. You can make a frame yourself, or purchase one (with or without the succulent cuttings) from places like Succulent Gardens http://sgplants.com/ Once you add the succulents, you will need to keep them on a flat surface until they get a bit larger and their roots spread out. This can take up to six months. Well worth the efffort, however - in the end you'll have a truly dynamic piece of living art.
Cheers! Susan Morrison
