The Fedor Van Der Valk string gardens are an interesting twist on the conventional garden that make pots and vases virtually obsolete. The unusual planting technique creates original garden artworks for any home.
The self-supporting, hanging plant containers use 3D crocheting techniques and the roots are covered in moss and grass so there is no risk of mess! Van Der Valk explains, “The most challenging part of the hanging ‘pots’ is figuring out what kind of soil and conditions the plant needs.” But, that he did, and he did it well!
The designs are guaranteed to add that extra color and spice to any home or garden. Unfortunately, these killer plant designs are available exclusively in Amsterdam.
