The Florafelt Pocket Panel

Our lightweight Florafelt Pocket Panel System uses soft felted pockets and wraps, a simple solution for living walls. Florafelt Pocket Panels have a rigid back covered in breathable felt. Unlike other products our unique patented system of folded felt pockets and wraps allows plants to grow in harmony with the system.

Microfibers Wick Moisture

Our hand-made vertical garden planters are designed to use the micro fibers in nylon felt so that all the plants are watered equally. The felt is made from recycled plastic water bottles, a nylon non-toxic fiber that is indestructible and tough.

A Framework For Life

This amazing material provides a safe growing medium that is pH neutral and non-reactive, so you can garden organically right on your wall – it’s even safe for vegetables and herbs! Roots grow right into the felt, which comes alive thanks to the microbiology in the soil.

So Good it’s Patented

Since 2009 Florafelt Pockets have been used by professional landscapers and home gardeners worldwide. Our patented method can be created in either a panel or draped configuration, and both provide a wide range of vertical planting solutions.

Our folded, pleated felt makes efficient use of materials and is far superior to flat pockets or slit and stapled vertical garden systems. With Florafelt pockets, irrigation from a single drip line at the top, wicks water down and moistens the base of every fold, exactly where roots like to grow.

Florafelt is also easy to assemble, using a single sheet of water wicking, horticulture fabric folded to protect the root ball and keep the surface dry. The root wraps keep things neat and make your garden easy to replant and rearrange, and we only use 100% recycled, PET plastic.
