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. | Vertical gardens often are referred to as green walls, but they differ from green facades such as ivy walls.

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. | When thinking about other ways to incorporate vertical gardening into your space, just let your imagination run wild.

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. | |||
