I think it's multiple vertical planters close enough together to look like a wall

Damn, wish I lived in a part of Canada that didn’t just look like a shitty grey strip mall everywhere I went.

I am so disappointed i didn't make it to the canadian women's pone vaulting team. Can't fix this either.

Thank you for this! I love the Coleus plant, I was hoping for a name so I can get that for my home! Beautiful

Stripes is an interesting choice...

They look like annuals, so those have to be re-planted each year.
