Gardening is good for the Soul

Gardening is good for the soul, beautiful plants are pleasing on the eye and being out in the open is a relaxing pastime!

But if you are not quite ready to take on the challenge of a large garden, why not try some vertical gardening? This latest style of growing container plants along a wall or open area is ideal for people living in small spaces and allows you to be express your creativity in many ways!

Whether you use coldrink bottles, gutters, wooden palettes or planting bags, there is no end to the possibilities. Visit this website for some inspiration!

Keep in mind the following tips:

  • Choose lightweight materials if you are renting a home and would like to take your garden with you when you move.
  • Place your vertical garden against a blank wall or fence and create a beautiful focal point.
  • Avoid hanging your garden too high or it will be difficult to water and maintain.
  • In terms of the plants you choose – look for hardy, reliable performers that germinate or mature quickly. Lettuce, Rocket and radishes grow fairly quickly and strawberries are perfect for vertical gardens. Hardy flowers like dwarf marigolds and calendulas add colour and grow beautifully together with veggies!

Good luck and enjoy!
