GALAPAGOS COFFEE TABLE

There’s something unconditionally appealing about seeing greenery growing in unexpected places. Whether it’s from concrete, rooftops or furniture, it’s a decorative detail that adds vibrance and texture (and sometimes nutrition).

  1. I don’t understand how you would actually grow things in this table. Does each hole have an individual compartment for soil?

    Hey, Sassy Red Head,
    I wrote to the designer and asked your questions. Here’s the answer:
    “yes there is soil in half of the table – there is a solid wall dividing
    the wet soil from the dry storage space. wheat grass and other root
    stock plants can grow vertically through
    the holes in the table surface – it’s a bit like a seedling tray where
    all the plants are trained to grow in a specific direction.”

  3. Thanks Sarah. Just one of those things that would have bothered me unless I found out.

    it’s not “a bit” like a seeding tray–it IS a seeding tray. go to any nursery and check them out. you can get a large, recycled oe locally here for $10.
