Vertical Garden

Vertical gardening is used to describe both in-ground gardening that grows plants up a trellis, arch, or vertical support and container gardening done vertically. Some vertical gardens also employ hydroponics to feed their plants.

The disadvantage of vertical gardening is that it can hold moisture against the affected walls, and can promote rot if the planters are not installed properly. Planters over windows or decks drip just like any other planters do, staining or dirtying whatever is below.

• Green walls. Green walls (or “living walls”) are comprised of containerised plants or modular green panels positioned across a wall face.
• Green facades.
• Freestanding vertical gardening systems.
