Gather Your Supplies

You will need: a woolly pocket (or another type of fabric wall planter) / potting soil / plants—we're using shade-tolerant assortment of pansies, heuchera, peach torenia and variegated creeping fig. If you are interested in exploring other plant options for color or texture visit your local nursery. Flowers like pansies always come in an array of beautiful colors.
