Vertical Garden- Helping Plants Grow Vigorously On Vertical Structures

By: buildverticalgarden Home | Home-and-Family | Landscaping-Gardening


Space is a major concern, especially now when so much of backyard or other spaces are occupied by other objects or by containers for growing organic vegetables. For those of you out there having messed up in small crammed space, but still want to grow beautiful flowers and plants at their own place, consider a planned vertical garden. It is an organic art for your indoor space or outdoor wall and a substantial way to help filter air naturally and beautifully blend nature with the existing ambience.

Typically, a vertical garden is essentially a framework of plants placed strategically onto the side of a building or a wall. They can be placed either indoors or outdoors, in shade or full sun, depending on what type of plants you are growing. You can grow all types of flowers and plants on the framework or panel, including succulents, epiphytes, tropical plants, ferns and even herbs. The panels are made from 100% recycled plastic water bottles and will never rot when they come in contact with water. First of all, these panels are installed and then planted.
The mini pocket panels are smaller frames and designed for succulents. The full pocket panels are comparatively for full length wall size and are designed for any other plants. To mention the fact that, plants with shallow roots are better to be grown here, because they will stay attached to a green wall.

The concept of green wall is the brainchild of French Botanist, Patrick Blanc, who had successfully come up with the idea and gave it a perfect form. He is also responsible for a large number of building integrated verticals gardens both in residential and commercial applications with much success. He started with the basic system consists of a steel frame, a waterproof base material to keep water off the building, and synthetic felt fabric for the plants to hold fast and grow into.

Today, there are many types and preferences of panels or structures that can be purchased for your garden. Simply call in at your nearest garden store or shop online, and you will get to see the various ranges and styles are there and the materials they are made from. Panels made from plastic, wood and bamboo are probably the most common. These garden structures may vary especially in terms of form and functionality. You have to choose the perfect one that are well-built and support your plants, fruits and flowers but also the ones that will add to the look of your garden.

One glance through a gardening magazine, and we are showered with images of pristine gardens, beautifully appointed with hundreds of varieties of plants, trees, and shrubs. While many of us aspire to have yards as beautiful as those in a magazine, few of us have the time or resources to achieve such perfection. However, with a little work and some good planning, even those of us with the blackest of thumbs will feel good about our efforts in the garden.

When reviewing your outdoor space, try to identify those areas that you're not very happy with. What do you want to change about them? Do you need some additional flowers or other plants? Perhaps the space doesn't feel balanced? Climbing plants may be just the answer you are looking for to solve a variety of common problems in outdoor areas.

Many plants, both annual and perennial, fall into the category of climbing plants. The more common climbers are clematis, morning glory, ivy, and honeysuckle. However, many plants that spread along the ground like creeping phlox and periwinkle can provide coverage for unsightly spaces in your outdoor area, as well.
