A planter for living plants, composed substantially of a wall-facing layer (16), one or more drainage layers (14) and a front comprised of one or more plant-root retaining panels (12), held together in close proximity in a laminar, vertically oriented, array. The planter allows plants to be planted in, and grow from, the front vertical surface of the planter.

The invention claimed is: 1. A vertical-mounted laminar planter for supporting living plants in a vertically oriented array, comprising: one or more drainage layers of such composition as to permit substantially free passage of water and air; a wall-facing layer located at the back of said vertical
The invention claimed is: 1. A vertical-mounted laminar planter for supporting living plants in a vertically oriented array, comprising: one or more drainage layers of such composition as to permit substantially free passage of water and air; a wall-facing layer located at the back of said vertical-mounted laminar planter having the property of partially restricting the passage of water and air through said wall-facing layer; a front comprised of one or more plant-root retaining panels having arrayed among them one or more apertures for the growth of a living plant; securing means to securely attach said plant-root retaining panels to each other; one or more hanging means by which said vertical-mounted laminar planter may be suspended on a vertical surface, such as a wall; one or more spacing means extending from said wall-facing layer to said vertical surface when said vertical-mounted laminar planter is in its normal vertical-mounted position; and holding means by which said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panels, are disposed in such proximity to each other as to provide secure purchase for the roots of plants and to substantially hold in place granular growing media, interposed between and among said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panel, regardless of changes in the orientation of said vertical-mounted laminar planter relative to the pull of gravity. 2. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 1 wherein said drainage layer is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of polyester/acrylic tangle material, synthetic fibers, adhered synthetic fibers, natural fibers, glass, ceramic, metal, plastic and stone. 3. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 1 wherein said holding means is selected from the group consisting of adhesives, glue, synthetic fiber stitches, pins, tacks, wire, metal bindings and solid framing. 4. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 1 wherein said wall-facing layer is a coating applied to a surface of a said drainage layer. 5. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 1 wherein said securing means is selected from the group consisting of simple hooks, hook-and-eye, adhesives, hook-and-loop, buttons, snaps and zippers. 6. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 1 wherein growing media is substantially held in place between and among said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panel, regardless of changes in the orientation of said vertical-mounted laminar planter relative to the pull of gravity. 7. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 1 wherein water-absorbing gel is substantially held in place between and among said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panel, regardless of changes in the orientation of said vertical-mounted laminar planter relative to the pull of gravity. 8. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 7 wherein said water-absorbing gel is a hydrophilic polymer selected from the group consisting of cross-linked acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymers, cross-linked acrylamide/potassium acrylate copolymers, and polyacrylamides. 9. A vertical-mounted laminar planter for supporting living plants in a vertically oriented array, comprising: one or more drainage layers of such composition as to permit substantially free passage of water and air; a wall-facing layer located at the back of said vertical-mounted laminar planter having the property of partially restricting the passage of water and air through said wall-facing layer; a front comprised of one or more plant-root retaining panels having arrayed among them one or more apertures for the growth of a living plant; one or more hanging means by which said vertical-mounted laminar planter may be suspended on a vertical surface, such as a wall; one or more spacing means extending from said wall-facing layer to said vertical surface when said vertical-mounted laminar planter is in its normal vertical-mounted position; and holding means by which said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panels, are disposed in such proximity to each other as to provide secure purchase for the roots of plants and to substantially hold in place granular growing media, between and among said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panel, regardless of changes in the orientation of said vertical-mounted laminar planter relative to the pull of gravity. 10. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 9 wherein said drainage layer is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of polyester/acrylic tangle material, synthetic fibers, adhered synthetic fibers, natural fibers, glass, ceramic, metal, plastic and stone. 11. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 9 wherein said holding means is selected from the group consisting of adhesives, glue, synthetic fiber stitches, pins, tacks, wire, metal bindings and solid framing. 12. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 9 wherein said wall-facing layer is a coating applied to a surface of a said drainage layer. 13. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 9 wherein said securing means is selected from the group consisting of simple hooks, hook-and-eye, adhesives, hook-and-loop, buttons, snaps and zippers. 14. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 9 wherein growing media is substantially held in place between and among said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panel, regardless of changes in the orientation of said vertical-mounted laminar planter relative to the pull of gravity. 15. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 9 wherein water-absorbing gel is substantially held in place between and among said drainage layer, said wall-facing layer and said plant-root retaining panel, regardless of changes in the orientation of said vertical-mounted laminar planter relative to the pull of gravity. 16. The vertical-mounted laminar planter of claim 15 wherein said water-absorbing gel is a hydrophilic polymer selected from the group consisting of cross-linked acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymers, cross-linked acrylamide/potassium acrylate copolymers, and polyacrylamides.
