Vertical Gardening
Vertical gardening is super popular these days, and any gardener can get in on the trend! It’s not just for people with limited space.
It’s also fantastic for those with large garden plots who want to grow more food in the same amount of space, try something different, or simply want to add beauty to their garden.
What Is Vertical Gardening?
If you're not familiar with the term, you may be wondering “What is a vertical garden?”. I don’t know if there is a formal vertical gardening definition, but here’s mine...
Vertical Gardening is a popular technique where flower and vegetable plants are grown up and off the ground.
When they hear this term, most people probably think of growing vining plants on tall plant supports like trellises, arbors and pergolas. But it’s not limited to using climbing plants only!
These days, it means so much more than that! When you start looking at all of the different vertical gardening systems, and adding things like living walls, hanging gardens and vertical planters, your options for what plants you can grow vertically are almost unlimited.
How Do Vertical Gardens Work?
With modern vertical gardening techniques, we can break the rules, and grow plants in fun and unconventional ways.
We can grow plants on vertical supports, or in different types of vertical containers, and they can be planted anywhere! On walls and fences, in picture frames, stacked on a deck or patio, or even hanging from a balcony or porch.
