Urbanites looking to add some greenery to their apartments need to check out the the Urbio Vertical Garden. The Urbio Vertical Garden is a set of magnetic flower pots that can be hung from almost any metal surface.
The Urbio Vertical Garden works by using magnetic pucks, which are nailed into the walls. The awesome part about this design is that the more pots and pucks you buy, the more creative you can get with your presentation. Like most awesome ideas, this one is still just a concept, but it has a fighting chance to become reality: the makers have taken to Kickstarter to seek funding for the project's tooling portion. The designers, San Francisco-based Enlisted Design and Volare Studio, are more than a third of the way to their $15,000 goal.
