Summertime gives me a naturegasm. With all the lush verdure, I sometimes feel like I can hear things growing, and it’s good to be filled with a sense of purposeful renewal. That’s why I’m so excited the nice folks at Woolly Pocket are sponsoring a GIVEAWAY for us, plus I’m guest posting over at their blog today. How’s that for cross pollination? Now, what the bleep is a Woolly Pocket, you may ask? Friends, prepare to be amazed.
Woolly Pockets are gardening systems that can be used indoors or out. They’re made from recycled materials formed into flexible, breathable pouches that have a moisture barrier so you can hang them on walls or set them right on your more delicate furnishings. All you have to do is add soil, plants, and water, and then — blammo! Instant garden. You can read more about the how tos right here.
Wally is a modular, wall hung pocket that can be used outside to build a vertical garden, creating a cool oasis (ok, a pool helps, too).
Or Wally can be used inside to recycle all that dirty carbon dioxide you’ve been shuffling around.
Wally is space saving and maximizes moisture, so you don’t have to water 1000x times a day.
Here are two Wally pockets placed side by side in the kitchen, where they’re being used to grow all sorts of yummy edibles. Brilliant idea for those of us with small outdoor spaces, or poor growing conditions (hello, Austin!).
You know you want to try a Wally on for size, and today is your lucky day! We’re giving away one lined Wally pocket in peacock blue, so you can use him indoors or out. All you have to do is leave a comment by 12 noon CST on Sunday the 13th for a chance to win. Due to shipping constraints, I’m afraid this contest is open to US residents only. The winner will be announced on Monday the 14th, so tune in to see if it’s you… it might be.
Now I hope that you’ll all hop over to the Woolly Pocket blog where I’ve written up a little guest post that includes lots of images designed to inspire you to get busy gardening, indoor style. You know you want to go to there, so what are you waiting for?
Go! Now!
But leave a comment first, ok?

I never try to win anything, but THIS I want. Majorly.

ZOMFG this post was so inspiring! i’m going to go to the nursery this weekend! so into wally.
This would be fantastic full of herbs in the kitchen!
How clever are these!? Love it.
This could be the answers to my fireplace prayers, must investigate further.
Please put a pocket in my pocket!
I’d love to be able to hang my plants out of the way of the kids and dog. This idea is genius!
want a wally!
wow, love this!!
love these!
Ok, I have been wanting one of these since I first saw them over at Flora Grubb a few months back. I think they are amazing and you must pick me. Yes, thats an order. I love all of these inspiring images. Completely fantastic, as was your guest post!
Now I’ll go wipe the brown off my nose….
I have wanted these for so long. oh please! Thank you!
Would love to give this to my father for Father’s Day! Brilliant idea for those with limited gardening space!!
this would be perfect for my very small space apartment, where i want to have more plants than i have places to put them. and the peacock blue is fantastic.
i love this! what a perfect idea for those of us that can’t have an outdoor garden.
I love these. I’ve been wanting to create a woolly wall.
This is perfect! Just what I have been looking for!
That is the COOLEST thing i’ve seen in a long time! i actually wonder if that wall pocket would work by my back yard. hmmmmmmm…. gonna go check it out more. great find!
i want a woolly pocket! i saw this at a local store and thought it was great. i love the idea of hanging them on the wall and creating a live mural. yay!~
Since my indoor cat forbids me to have houseplants, which I have suffered without for YEARS, I think it’s safe to say I deserve the wonderful wooly…show me the wooly!!!
Wow, ever since I started reading about Patrick Blanc and vertical gardens, I’ve been wondering how I was going to pull one off that wouldn’t be some disposable plastic thingy. Now I know.
Peacock blue Woolly please find your way home to me!
pretty, pretty please
Wally is crazy cool…wonder if my black thumb could handle it?
I saw the Wally before on Inhabitat, it’s a neat little design, and makes me imagine turning an apartment into a jungle.
Plus, if you put one next to your kitchen sink, like in the last picture, you can save your dishwater and use it to water your plants easily! Natural fertilizer + greywater reuse!
Yes to vegetating walls!
I am in love with you Wally and I will dream of having you!
FINGERS CROSSED!!! Wally I love you!
herbs in the kitchen!
Is that a woolly in your pocket or are you just…?
I want!
I’ve been drooling over Woolly for months! With Austin’s crazy weather lately, I’m hoping my plants will thrive in a Wally!
ooh i love this, and in blue? so much summer fun! i have a few location ideas in mind already.
What an awesome idea!
What a neat idea! And I love the peacock blue color, so I am super excited. Thanks for the chance!
I’ve been wanting one of these for a succulent wall on my tiny balcony!
Peacock blue would go fabulously well in my loft. . . plus i’d love to grow something besides dust in my place. Thanks for the opportunity! Love the site.
Love this idea! What a great way to grow some herbs in the kitchen! I will keep my fingers crossed !!!
My San Francisco apartment is dying for something like this!
I am too late for the contest, but then I never knew about this incredible product until today. (Thanks to Martha Stewart and then later today on Outdoor Room with Jamie Drurie.) I am living in a condo instead of a house because I am no longer healthy enough to support my passion for gardening. I am waiting for a liver transplant and am limited to the gardening I can do on this small second floor balcony. Your product would be perfect for growing vegies as well as being compliant with the bylaws for this complex. Maybe I can sell a painting or two and purchase a few. Meanwhile, Yeah for you guys!
