GROW UPWARD
Make vertical gardening work in a small space.
Vertical systems can free up floor space, but the best setup is one you can reach, water and maintain safely.
VERTICAL BASICS
Plan the wall before the plants.
Notice how much light the area receives and make sure the support can carry the containers, soil and water. Keep frequently used herbs and leafy plants within comfortable reach.
- Choose a stable shelf, trellis or wall system.
- Keep watering access simple from the beginning.
- Leave space for airflow and future growth.
01
Good first project
Start with one narrow shelf or trellis and a small group of containers rather than covering an entire wall.
KEEP LEARNING
Build a garden you can reach.
Pair vertical ideas with a container plan that makes daily care easy.
