Beautiful place and great looking plants.
I like the growbags in black and/or white, they look really cool in white (so clean looking!)

I've been making my own growbags out of the bags that our compost comes in. Those bags are indestructable, they happen to be blue. I cut the bottom out of it, pull it over a bucket and fold and staple like wrapping a package to make a flat bottom. Use an office hole puncher to spread some drainage holes around the bottom and sides. After three years, even the ones that were left outdoors over winter and froze and thawed are still as strong as new... Not classy looking like the white and black, but it works.

All of the bags that hort products come in appear to be made of the same super tough plastic, it's a good freebie for anyone wanting to grow on a budget.
