"This is the Beauvoir House, located in Las Flores Canyon in Malibu," says Bruce Bolander. "The color was influenced by the color of the new growth on the chaparral that surrounds the house. The house and kitchen are both very small; the house is about 1600 square feet."

A group of Woolly Pocket planters can be put up in an afternoon. Each planter's hook requires one screw to hang.

Covered with wire mesh, the green roof will continue to vegetate over time.
