Space Saving DIY Vertical Gardens
Small space gardening is growing every year. New and innovative methods of growing plants are introduced every year. Here is a bunch of interesting, low cost ways of growing a vertical garden.
1. Compartment Wall Garden
An open front box with compartments and a back hanger can make a great vertical gardens. Easy-to-grow succulents of different types are first planted in different compartments. Interesting patterns can be created by mixing and matching the succulents selected. Make sure to have a hanger screwed into the back to hang the box to the wall. It might look difficult but the succulents are easy to grow using a light soil mix.
Here is the Green Wall (25 Compartments) By Gold Leaf Design Group available for $460 which comes with the succulents carefully grown and all you have to do is to hang it to the wall.
2. Pill-Box Indoor/Outdoor planters

5.Macrame Panel for hanging garden
A very interesting concept we found was a macrame panel hung from a rod wich is firmly and strongly woven out of nylon and can be used to hang garden pots, recycled bottles for plants, hanging plant tubes. In fact anything can be hung from this strong macrame panel. If you know how to macrame this can be a really cool DIY project.
