make sure you’ve got enough support for when the big fruits come!
Trellises
One structural option for your vertical garden is a trellis. These are small enough to fit in almost any space and can hold different types of plants. You can make it yourself or purchase it from a store.
Trellises can also be attached to a wall in your garden or staked into the earth for better support and the design prevents mold from spreading disease throughout your plants. Trellises have a nice design and can be combined with other forms of garden structures. Plants that grow well on trellises and tripods are those that have tendrils, such as pole beans.
This trellis is supporting several bean plants and is one of the simplest vertical gardens you can create.
If you decide to plant heavy plants on your trellises, make sure that the trellis you use is made of either wood or metal. Lighter plants can be used on metal trellises as well. Try arranging your plants in a pyramid shape. To keep your trellis in place, you can stake it to the ground using poles or stakes made of wood or iron.
Wire Fences and Poles
If you want an organized vertical garden that is filled with many types of vining plants, like peas and green beans, then wire fences and poles are your best bet. These types of plants may need a bit of help creeping up vertically. You can simply tie up the vines along the poles and wires and they will do the rest.
If you already have a fence set up, you can plant crops next to it that will grow upwards using the support of the fence. You can also just build your own using some simple chicken wire or other type of fencing material.
Arches
Another great structure that fits nicely in gardens is arches. These can be used for plants that are heavier, such as vining plants like grapes.
Arches can also be used for plants that climb or hanging baskets of plants. Your vertical garden can look like a typical garden with beautiful garden furniture and arches, making anyone want to lounge out in the yard on a warm day and enjoy the spectacular view.
This arch is completely covered with beans! Arches make for a beautiful, simple vertical garden design and can be a lot of fun.
Pockets
Pockets can be purchased at the store or you can make them yourself by using the shoe pockets that are commonly found hanging in closets (holes will need to be drilled to allow for aeration and water drainage. The pockets should be 15 inches by 24 inches, which can support up to 20 pounds of dirt. Pockets can be used for planting small perennials and edible plants.
Pocket bags like in this picture above can also support a small vertical garden – in this case with lots of fresh greens!
Trays
Trays are rectangular in shape and are divided into 30-degree angle individual cells for planting. There are holes at the bottom that allow air and water to seep through. To make your tray look unique, you can make or buy a frame of your choice to go around it.
Gardening trays that were designed for vertical gardening come with brackets that allow you to easily mount them.
Trays for vertical gardening like the ones pictured above can be mounted on a wall which is often how small green walls are made at home. Just make sure your wall or siding of your house can support the weight!
If you keep the base of the tray on the ground and attach some screws, nails or clips to fasten it to the wall it should hold up fine.
Hanging Pots
The design of pot hangers are made so that they are easy to install and nearly invisible. They have hangers that can hold up to 100 pounds. The hangers can be screwed into a wall. The pots are held onto the structure with the help of clamps.
Hanging pots like the ones pictured above can make for gorgeous flower arrangements.
Walls
If you have walls in your garden or plan to build some, you will find that you can have certain plants grow along it. All some vining plants need is a rough surface to attach to. You don’t want to use wood,
