With so many great things to plant, the space in our gardens can fill up quickly. If your garden is crowded, or if you wish to save room for future projects, then a vertical garden is just what you need! Vertical gardens are useful for saving space, and you can place them on almost any blank wall or fence. Their portability also allows you to place them wherever you need appropriate lighting for your plants. Below, we’ve arranged a list of sixteen nifty vertical gardens you can create at home that will clear space and add life to your walls.
