Overview

A vertical garden can run the gamut from a simple arrangement of flowers in a large container on a deck to an elaborate display of strawberries and geraniums amid climbing peas and vines of small squash growing up a backyard fence. Any upright structure that can support vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers, whether these plants are in containers or in the ground, can be used. Of particular interest to urban dwellers and to city residents with limited yard space or sunlight, growing plants vertically can also be used by suburban and rural gardeners so valuable ground space can be freed up for root crops.This book offers a how to guide for the novice or professional vertical gardener. It fully explains which types of foliage, vegetables and fruits work best for a vertical garden and the level of maintenance required to sustain the garden of your dreams. The right choices mean easier maintenance, less need for herbicides and pesticides and a more attractive space. Details about the best location for a vertical garden are discussed, as well as how to plant in areas that offer environmental restrictions, such as decks or patios.A garden can block unattractive structures, enhance views and add privacy to a home. Going vertical works well in confined spaces, and it can increase property values by adding an element of landscaping that might be otherwise unobtainable.
