Vertical Gardens
If you would like to add some beauty to the fences
or exterior walls of your home, you may want to
consider vertical gardens. This unique gardening
technique uses the help of vine flowers and plants
to grow upwards making them the perfect vertical
gardens.
With a vertical garden, you can choose from a
variety of flowering vines. You can use various
techniques that allow the vines to grow up the
sides of your house as well as the fence. You
will learn here some of the popular ways people
attach the vines to their homes to create beautiful
vertical gardens.
Vertical gardens are great for homes that have
limited outdoor space that limit the options for
growing conventional gardens. These gardens also
consist of hanging planters that can be placed
on porches, fence posts, or hung from a balcony.
No matter where you live, you can usually create
a vertical garden.
What to Use for Vertical Gardens
You can use a trellis, string, fishing line or
a mesh fabric to start your vertical garden. The
trellis is generally made of wood or iron. The
theory behind the vertical garden is, as long
as you provide an object for the vines to attach
themselves to, you will eventually have a wall
of beauty.
If you plant around fences, the vines will grow
up by attaching to the wood or iron fence. Brick
exterior houses usually need no added help as
the vines will usually attach themselves to the
rough brick exterior.
What Plants to Use in Vertical Gardens
Climbing roses are a favorite for this type of
garden, as is the Clematis. Other popular plants
used by home owners are morning glories, honeysuckle,
ivy and in some areas, grape vines. When you think
about the different colors and varieties of these
plant types, you can add plenty of color to your
outdoor area that will look very elegant.
You can also add hanging basket plants such as
carnations, petunias, daisies and geraniums, to
name a few. Hanging baskets can be hung up high
or at eye level. The ability to make vertical
gardens gives everyone the opportunity to have
a beautiful display of color anywhere.
Another type of vertical garden is the stacked
box vertical garden. These gardens consist of
square boxes stacked on top of each other in an
upward direction. You then plant your plants inside
with the flowers pointing out. This makes a box
garden that can be used indoors or out.
These gardens also make excellent poolside gardens
without the hassle of pulling weeds or protecting
it from the chorine of the pool water. Vertical
gardens are a spectacular site for all who plant
them and enjoy them.
