=====The Complete Guide to Vertical Gardening=====

Line 422:

Vertical gardens often are referred to as green walls, but they differ from green facades such as ivy walls. When considering a support surface for a vertical garden, think about what you want to grow, whether it be flowers, vegetables or a combination of both. Obvious choices include fences, trellises, pergolas, posts, poles with strings or nets, trees or cages.

When thinking about other ways to incorporate vertical gardening into your space, just let your imagination run wild. Possible frame options include old ladders, bicycles, old wagon wheels, wooden pallets or containers attached to an existing fence. An inexpensive plastic shoe storage system hung on the fence or wall with the pockets full of soil is a great way to vertically grow herbs.

Cheer up a bare wall by planting succulents and sedums in the gaps. Plants that thrive in hot, dry conditions will thrive in crevices between bricks. Houseleeks, rock cress, sempervivums and ferns will all cope in these conditions. Push the roots of your plug plants or seedlings into the walls and fill in around them with soil. Water every so often until the plants begin to put on new growth.

=====Vertical Gardening: How to Grow More in Less Space=====

[https://www.gardendesign.com/vertical/ by Janet Loughrey GARDEN DESIGN]

With lot sizes shrinking and more people living in condos and apartments, every inch of space is at a premium. Vertical gardening is a way to maximize a small garden space or underused feature such as a wall, fence, or other gardening structure.

To utilize vertical outdoor space, plants can be grown up a trellis, arbor, or other structure, or allowed to trail out of a hanging basket or planter box. Displaying containers or pocket pouches on a fence or wall is another way to get more out of your growing space. Here are some basics considerations for vertical gardening, along with ideas for inspiration.

=====Nowhere to Go, But Up – Vertical Gardening=====

[https://tylerarboretum.org/nowhere-to-go-but-up-vertical-gardening/ by Lynn Lampman, Tyler Volunteer 13/6/22 Tyler Arboretum]

A fence, trellis, pergolas, posts, poles with strings or nets, and cages can serve as a great vertical space for beans, peas, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and more. For example, you can use the rungs of a ladder to train vines while placing the vegetable (ex., pumpkins) on its steps for further support. So let your creativity run wild! As a bonus, no matter how you build them, trellis structures can serve double duty as a privacy screen for a patio or small yard. Once the lush vines of your veggie plants grow upwards, they will have your small space feeling like a garden oasis. Unless the neighbors stop by to check out what you’re growing, that is!

=====What Is Vertical Farming? Everything You Should Know About This Innovation=====

[https://www.edengreen.com/blog-collection/what-is-vertical-farming by eden green]

Vertical farming grows crops in stacked layers instead of traditional horizontal fields, using 98% less water and 99% less land while producing year-round harvests. This controlled environment agriculture (CEA) approach solves major food system challenges including the "3,000-mile salad" problem, food deserts, and climate change impacts on farming. Eden Green's hybrid greenhouse model combines natural sunlight with vertical systems to grow over 200 varieties of pesticide-free, locally-grown produce that reaches stores within 48 hours of harvest.

=====15 Vertical Garden Ideas, From Living Walls to Botanical Libraries=====

[https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/vertical-garden-ideas-from-living-walls-to-botanical-libraries by Melissa Minton and Amelia Mularz 19/8/24 AD]

Not only do they look striking—as proven by the 15 vertical garden ideas below—living walls can actually make you healthier, both physically and mentally. Research has shown that air-purifying green walls in office spaces have improved workers’ skin quality and boosted immune systems. Additionally, exposure to plants has a calming effect, which is why you see so many living walls in meditation studios and spas. Upright planting has its perks from a design perspective too. “Vertical gardens are excellent for small spaces, especially in urban areas like New York City,” says Adam Baron of Folia Gardens in Brooklyn, New York. “They can add shade and privacy, bring life, color, and volume to a space, and soften or highlight architectural features.”
