    DIY Living Wall Turtorial with PICTURES

    new version looks better! just a point of interest, the foam does chip every now and again. I initially suggested the black foam because when it chips away its not as apparent as the white foam. Nothing a little silicone and dirt cant fix, but some might prefer to not be bothered with it
