Bloggers don’t get much sunlight in their day-to-day routine, so this plant wall is about as close as we’ll get to “being outside.” Created by the folks at Green Fortune, the wall can be custom made to fit any space (including our bloggy sweatshop downtown) and best of all, it waters and fertilizes itself.
