DIY vertical garden

Grow up, not out. Build a vertical planter that fits tight balconies and patios.

Materials

  • Stackable planters or wall pockets
  • Lightweight potting mix
  • Zip ties or tension rods

Best plants

Herbs, strawberries, trailing greens, and compact flowers.

Build steps

1. Measure height

Leave 12 inches of clearance at the top for watering.

2. Secure the frame

Use tension rods or anchors that do not damage walls.

3. Plant top to bottom

Start with smaller plants on the top to avoid shade.
