This past week Linda Welch demonstrated for me how to make an easy indoor vertical garden, using inexpensive wood file holders, breathable yet waterproof Wally Pocket Planters, and poinsettias. This project is simple enough for someone with limited skill using tools or doing household projects to accomplish, and quick and easy enough to still do before Christmas!
Linda found some inexpensive wood file holders with legs that allowed them to stand unsupported (although the possibilities are endless for choice of container.) To prevent the file holders from tipping forward after planting, she drilled a small hole through each into the wall behind, and secured them with a screw. (For more sturdy anchoring, Wallys come with plastic wall anchors included.) From there it was a simple matter to insert a Wally into each file slot, then plant a poinsettia into each Wally. Start to finish it took 35 minutes! Linda plans on using it year-round, planting spring-blooming bulbs after the poinsettias are finished. What an easy way to bring a garden indoors, and the result is stunning!
