Don't know anything about flower walls, and I suspect collecting ferns

would probably need a north-facing wall to grow them successfully, as
most of them like damp shade.


It's not illegal, except for a few species. However, while taking
plants from the wild is often ecologically better than buying them,
ferns are a group that is usually harmed by the practice.
