What can we do when our garden size grows smaller or we have downsized to an apartment? It seems the only way left is to garden up. Apart from being a great space saver, a vertical garden can also be a beautiful one, as this solution provides the opportunity to enjoy more greenery, flowers or fresh vegetables in a limited space.
Vertical gardens come in many forms: a structural system that is attached to a wall, or one that remains free-standing. Plants can either be grown hydroponically or in quality potting mix. Most vertical garden types also include watering systems that are easy to install. If you have a sunny spot outside, vegetables or flowers can bring a blank, empty wall to life.
