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! | 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.

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. | |||
