Hi Lynn, I haven't worked on it...I am going to begin a new one, I have the supplies just haven't done it yet, what I'm missing is a tarp or heavy plastic to make a cover, so it can lay flat outside and not get too wet, I know this is a little thing but its stopping me. The current "mini green wall" I'm going to redo, and make it be for my baby succulents, of which I have many, my nursery pots are overflowing, so it'd be pretty to have that in the house.
One major thing that I did incorrectly is that I didn't fill the tray with plants!! All of the walls that I've seen now, I can tell they filled the base (tray) without leaving room for growth, as these plants grow, they can grow into each other, I left lots of room and it looks empty - all will be remedied when I redo it (maybe beginning today!)
Your photo though Lynn is gorgeous and an inspiration! I love how you can tell she took 4 inch pots of a mixed semps (the reddish in with the webby one) and left them in that form, making almost a brick look - I love it!!! gives me ideas! I also like the idea of placing the same types of plants in a line or somehow making it less random Hurray!
