Homemade Living Wall


This is a homemade living wall.


WHAT YOU NEED:

1 Travel Case (with plastic holders and a hanger at the top)
A couple of your favorite plants (preferably ones that hang)

DIRECTIONS:

Take the travel case and remove any of the packing paper. Remove your plants from the pots they came in and transfer small sections of each plant to the different levels in the travel case. When finished you have yourself a living wall! It's that easy!

SIDE NOTES:

I did sew the top of the first pocket in the travel case to hold the plants in better. You may also need some extra dirt if the pots don't contain enough.

Culture Reflection


This abstract image is a collage of different colored squares overlapping. Each square represents a specific idea, memory, goal, image, experience, practice, or knowledge that you have obtained throughout your life. Culture is a combination of behaviors and beliefs that make up a particular social group and every individual. Each individual combines these experiences and knowledge making up who they are. In the image, the squares overlap (much like everything a person learns as they grow) and create one big picture.
