Bring Your Own Dirt
They also seem to make fabulous planter bags - and lots of curious attendees (including this TreeHugger) at the weekend farmers' market and exhibit at Gunnebo stood snapping pictures of the bags, eager to try this at home - the bags and organic compost were sold on site. Unlike some higher-tech vertical alternatives, this one was just $15 for the bag! But BYOD...

Some at the market were a bit disappointed that a "redesign" of the Orangeriet, which was more recently a greenhouse hothouse at the castle, was actually repurposed to be a café (which the castle already has in the main building). Tendrils of tomato plants in big buckets still groped upward toward the sun and the warmth of the small glass-fronted greenhouse was great when rain showers threatened.

But in spite of the extensive grounds at Gunnebo platted for kitchen gardens (96 square meters) the on-site restaurant still must import extra veggies to serve all its patrons, which makes the vertical garbage bag gardens a great idea, and the idea of the organgerie as a café that much more egregious.
