About Planted Places
Christy Ross, founder of Planted Places, started a company focused on making it easy for people to garden organically no matter the space or time. Planted Places is the maker of the innovative Planted Wall, an outdoor vertical gardening system for sustainably growing food. The wall is designed to be EASY to grow nutrient-dense greens & herbs — no matter your space or location. It is self-watering, self-fertilizing and on wheels so you can move it to the sun. It also features a recirculating irrigation system to conserve water.
We also offer garden grow kits for each season and a Garden Shop where you can purchase all your organic growing needs. Our seedling shop allows you to custom select the season's best of certified organic seedlings. We grow from organic seed only and nurture the seedlings until they are at prime transplant size. This eliminates 6-8 weeks of waiting for the seeds to sprout and grow!
Put your seedlings and soil purchases on auto-delivery and we will ship your season's seedling based on your shipment preference.
