Vertical / Wall Gardening
Vertical gardening maximizes limited space by growing plants upward using trellises, wall planters, or stacked systems. This method is especially useful in small yards, patios, and balconies.
Structural Considerations
- Secure mounting for wall systems
- Weight capacity of supports
- Access to consistent watering
- Proper drainage
Best Plants for Vertical Gardening
- Pole beans
- Cucumbers
- Cherry tomatoes
- Strawberries
- Trailing herbs
- Ornamental vines
Vertical systems dry out more quickly than ground beds. Review Watering Problems if plants show signs of stress.
