What is a Vertical Garden?

A vertical garden is a planting solution that grows upwards instead of using traditional horizontal beds.

It is ideal for small spaces such as balconies, rooftops, walls, and courtyards with limited soil.

How it works:
A vertical garden utilizes structures or surfaces, such as:

• Shelves with pots

• Wooden pallets or metal frames with planting pockets

• Fabric panels with plant pockets

• Hanging pots on walls or railings

• Special modular vertical planting systems for large areas
