HALIFAX<\/strong> – Pocket plants seem to be taking Canadian cities by storm.\u00a0 When I first blogged about (poster) pocket plants in Toronto<\/a>, rumour had it that something similar had also been spotted in Halifax.\u00a0 Well, the rumours are true: they can be found on North Street just west of Windsor.<\/p>\n

While they might not be quite as attention-grabbing as their Toronto counterparts, these wire-meshed pocket plants seem far more likely to attain some longevity by making it through the winter.\u00a0 Each pocket holds far more soil and a hardier plant seems to be growing rather than the flowers planted in Toronto.\u00a0 They are also attached to a wooden pole\u2014rather than the metal pole used in Toronto\u2014making them far better suited to weathering Halifax’s wet climate than cut-out posters would have been.<\/p>\n

I wonder who designed\/planted them?<\/p>\n
