Tuesday, December 7th, 2010A MEGA Woolly Thanks to Analiese Paik with the Fairfield Green Food Guide. Her Holiday Gift Guide presentation on WTNH featured 3 amazing gifts for a Gardener, Cook & Chocolate Lover, aka a Foodie!
Who wouldn’t want a gift of heirloom seeds from a 200 year old seed company, Comstock Heirloom Seeds. Or how about a decadent and sustainable chocolate disc from Fair Trade Chocolate makers in Mexico from Taza! But our favorite is a mini herb garden beautifully planted in a Peacock Tina that will grow all winter long on your countertop!

I know, I know, it’s hard to focus on anything else, but indeed there is a Woolly Pocket Living Wall right there! We’ve added arrows to show what we’re talking about:

Epicurious discovers a new way to garden, in Pockets!
Thursday, May 13th, 2010
When it comes to cooking tasty food, nothing is more important than starting with fresh ingredients. You can’t get much fresher than picking herbs and vegetables growing inside your kitchen! With a few strategically placed Wallys, you can create a space saving and beautiful indoor herb or vegetable garden on any kitchen wall. That’s the exact conclusion Lauren Salkeld came to when she first came across Woolly Pocket. She writes on epicurious.com:
Since the moment I heard about Woolly Pockets, a line of hanging plant containers made of soft felt, I’ve been harboring fantasies of filling my tiny New York apartment with them, creating what the company calls living walls or vertical gardens. I can just imagine my kitchen wall covered in pockets of herbs, cherry tomatoes, maybe even some small hot peppers.
We couldn’t agree more! The article also has links to some excellent tips on choosing and growing herbs and vegetables. Thanks for the great article Lauren, and for letting your readers know about our Woolly School Garden program.
Gardening Sustainably at the Los Angeles Garden Show

Last weekend, gardeners from around Southern California and beyond gathered at the Los Angeles Arboretum for Living Green: Essentials for the Home Gardener, the latest edition of the L.A. Garden Show. Visitors were able to view a selection of beautiful gardens that incorporate sustainability and best practices for edible gardening.
Woolly Pocket was right at home as an ideal vertical garden system for a ”Habitat Wall” designed by Stephanie Barton & Mayita Dinos. Their design caught the eye of celebrated garden writer, Debra Prinzing, who recently wrote in her review of the show:
using the Woolly Pockets planting system, the installation overflowed with plants providing nectar, larval food, forage and nesting spots for local butterflies, bees and birds…

A successful garden will inevitably have multiple benefits. One we find particularly Woolly is providing nature’s critters with nourishment and sanctuary. In urban gardens, this is especially important. Another benefit of a vertical garden is the cooling effect that plants provide as they absorb the sun’s energy, instead of heating your home. In the winter, the living wall insulates the home, retaining heat where you need it, indoors.
We’ll be sharing more benefits of vertical gardens in future blog posts. For now, visit our website to learn more about the Wally Vertical Gardening System. Happy gardening!
