Simple Unfolding Planter
May 13, 2013 by Robin Plaskoff Horton
Yonoh Studio’s Tyvek Opot simple wall planter arrives rolled in a tube ready to unpack, fold, plant, and hang.
You can have it planted and on the wall in a matter of minutes it up on a wall via its two symmetrically placed eyelets.
Place a planted container inside, and you are ready to hang.
Tyvec is the same material used as a waterproofing layer in building construction, making Opot weather and UV resistant.
Opot is durable and an easy way to create an almost instant vertical garden wall indoors or outdoors.
Available at Yonoh Studio.

Not concerned about that kind of safety – it has to be made from oil or ethanol – and that production is not helping us at all. Just sort of ironic – growing plants in newly made plastics.
