Mmm succulents! Seeming to be able to withstand so much neglect, these plants have been going beyond the wreath and the centerpiece. Living art!:

Sempervivum succulents seem ideal meh?
From Flora Grubb GardensVertical gardens have been around for a while starting with Patrick Blanc's living walls, but have recently been making a splash, as they act as living works of art perfect for small/urban spaces and require less water than traditional grounded gardens (perhaps much less of a splash, then?) Vertical farming is also an a' growin movement.
Make your own vertical garden! Kit from Smith & Hawken.
Vertical gardens around the world:

Big in Japan!

Meanwhile, I am missing my little succulent (I think it's some sort of aloe?) that roommie Lauren is taking care of for me :(

I think that making a vertical garden shouldn't be too hard... a pretty wide metal mesh over more mossy soil? Then plants lots of succulents?
Might be my new home depot project...
