Moss can often be found growing in damp areas, between the cracks in paving stones, on drainpipe covers or, in this example, near to a riverbank
So I saw this interesting post on 9gag about moss graffiti and I was like is that SERIOUSLY working?? O.O Omg! That's freaking cool!
So erm, I googled it and it's real! xD
These will be all you need.
RECIPE
*Several clumps of moss
*1 pot of natural yoghurt or 12oz buttermilk (experiment to see which works best)
*1/2 teaspoon of sugar
*blender
*Plastic pot (with a lid)
*Paint brush
*Spray-mister
First, you need to find some moss. It's everywhere!
Step 2
Gather several clumps of moss in a bag and take them to a place where you can easily wash them. Carefully clean the moss of as much mud as possible.
Step 3
Place some of the moss, the buttermilk (or yoghurt) and sugar into a blender and start to mix. This must be done in small phases as the moss can easily get caught in the blades of blender. Keep blending until you have a green milkshake with the texture of a thick smoothie. Pour the mixture into a plastic container.
Step 4
Paint your chosen design onto your chosen location or (if growing indoors) on top of a flattened layer of compost in a seed tray.
Step 5
Ensure that your moss design is kept moist by spray-misting it with water regularly. After a few weeks the moss should start to re-contitute and grow.

Whole Foods Living Wall
At the new Whole Foods in Vancouver, a colorful wall of plants embellishes the north-facing wall of the building, adding to the city’s long list of greenery-adorned architecture. The wall is planted with native plants like huckleberry, euonymus, and licorice fern, which were individually placed within self-contained soil soil panels and attached to the side of the building.
ReviPlant Edible Green Walls
Some critics of popular vertical greenery designs argue that such gardens aren’t being used to their maximum potential unless they’re edible. This design, by Italian company ReviPlant, is a vertical gardening system that takes vegetable gardens off the ground, transforming them into portable green walls that can be used to cover building facades.
