I
love this idea. Love it.
I know Ron Gagliardo had something like it at Atlanta Botanical Garden. There's was made with a metal grid that was stuffed with sphagnum moss. It had plants tucked into it in spots. They'd just cut out a small part of the grid and tuck the plants roots into the sphagnum.
I recall the story of how they had to break down the wall. It had grown so thick with plants that they, literally, had to take a portable circular saw and cut it apart.
Can you imagine the type of growth it would take for that to happen?
Pretty cool.
The key (to me anyhow) is finding the right type of material, and the right amount of moisture, to pull this off.
I'll definitely be implementing something like this soon.

Just thought id share a few links on how to make a moss background. This is usually for aquariums but it may work for dart terrariums; just use java moss or Riccia instead.
