This approach allows for efficient use of limited space, which is especially useful in urban areas and small areas. 

The basic idea of vertical gardening is to grow plants up supports such as trellises, walls, fences or special vertical systems.

This not only saves space, but also improves the plants’ access to light and air, which promotes healthy growth.

When space is at a premium, vertical gardening offers a fantastic solution for growing vegetables.

Ideal choices for this method include fruiting vines like kiwi and Siberian gooseberry, as well as edible flowers such as nasturtium. 

Vegetables that thrive in vertical gardens include peas, squash, tomatoes, and beans. 

Additionally, you can cultivate various greens such as spinach, basil, mint, dill, and cilantro in a vertical setup.

This approach maximizes your growing area and brings fresh produce within easy reach.

Vertical containers along the wall will help save space and make a garden where there is not enough space for growing in open ground.

This is a great way to grow vegetables, greens, aromatic herbs and fruits if there is no space in the garden.
