This spring I felt like everyone had seen a Woolly Pocket garden, except me! Well, I finally saw one; the garden is installed on the west-south-west side of the William F. Passannante Ballfield at Houston and Sixth Avenue in the Village. (Click here for a photograph of the garden in progress at the Woolly Pockets blog.) In a nutshell, the company describes Woolly Pocket products as "flexible, breathable, and modular gardening containers. They`come in two styles: those designed to be placed on horizontal surfaces, and those designed to be hung on walls for vertical gardening." Chain link fence never looked this good!

The first are both drought-tolerant.
Woolly Pockets have two main components: the breathable felt and the built-in moisture barrier. The breathable portion is made of 100% recycled plastic bottles that have been industrially felted. The moisture barrier is made according to military standards for impermeability from 60% recycled plastic bottles. We stitch each pocket together by hand with a double lock stitch and strong, UV-resistant nylon thread.
Depending on the climate conditions, Woolly Pockets are estimated to have a lifespan of up to 20 or plus years.
