Don’s Tips: Vertical Gardens

Vertical Gardens

Vertical gardens are all the rage at the moment.  These are basically pots or long troughs that hang against walls to make a green wall.

You can grow vegies or herbs in your vertical garden or you can just green a wall with ferns, philodendrons and grasses.

Vertical gardens usually come in kits and you are best advised to ask your local nursery people to show you how they work.  Setting them up requires some understanding of the whole process.

Both nurseries and hardware stores stock vertical gardens and some of them have built in watering systems to make them very successful.

So now, a wasted wall space can become a productive part of your garden, and a very pretty part at that.

Hooroo, Don
