These shiny little pocket planters designed by Puerto Rican designer Maruja Fuentes that slightly resemble little porcelain sinks are actually made of recycled materials and can create interlocking wall designs.

For a less artsy feel and just a simple plant holder for needs like vertical farming, the Outdoor Living Wall Panel Grid offers a grid system of pockets. These can be planted as single planters for a hanging art feel or grouped together to form a wall.

With the simple grid box system, this could work well for some vertical farming, especially for people like me that have little more than a fenced patio for a backyard. They could attach to the fence and maybe even provide a nice bit of extra sound barrier from my noisy neighbors too.

Using a 200 year old Spanish door, Los Angeles-based artist Michel Horvat created a living wall centerpiece for his clients home. The rich wood and hardware of the door become the frame to hundreds of succulents.

The edges were lined with copper flashing for durability before placing 300 1-inch pots inside modular baskets in the center of the door, working to balance colors and textures for an artistic masterpiece.
