Create your own Vertical Garden
Vertical gardening is a fun, creative way to grow plants in urban spaces! Below is just a sample of what you can create with ready-to-go planters and kits.

These are really awesome..does the watering forbid them from being inside?
November 21, 2011 at 2:35 pm
The Woolly Pockets have waterproofing built right into them so they can be inside right away. The Grow Vert Panels and Florafelt Panels need to have a bit of waterproofing done before they can be used inside. However, you can get the Grow Vert panels with a frame and watering basin that can be used inside easily – no waterproofing required. Also, there is a Floraframe product that is also designed for indoor use and the bottom part of the frame collects the extra water and drains it away wherever you’d like.

Do you know of anyone who makes wool felt vertical planters?

The Woolly Pocket and Florafelt products are made from felt. You can see them at uzplanters.com

Very interesting! Especially for small spaces – and decorative! Nice!

I love this and am really interested in the whole concept.

I love this idea! It is very creative to fill up a wall or if you live in a small space. Great stumble.

What about for in a terrarium? This would really provide atmosphere and humidity

Is it possible to make a vertical garden that is in the shape of an upside-down ‘L’ or would the water just drip off of the overhang part?
November 26, 2011 at 2:40 am
It depends on what system you use. The Woolly Pockets have a built in liner so would be able to make your L and you wouldn’t have to worry about leaks.

Hi! I was thinking of making my own but maybe a permanent vertical garden, but then I’m wondering about maintenance, do I have to fertilize the soil regularly, or resoil them once in a while?
January 25, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Hi Bahia!
You don’t really have to add soil to the planters. You will have to fertilize them every so often.. maybe a few times a year. Not much. You can fertilize easily using some water soluble fertilizer so that the plants are fertilized as you water them.

Interested in small vertical but don’t see measurements. (I’m not very good on the computer so maybe you could leave a phone #. Thanks!

Hi, I’m very interested in creating a living wall for outdoors. I live in Denver, CO. I checked out the map to see where there might be living walls in the Denver area to get an idea of the kind of plant that would work for this climate. But I don’t see any living walls in this area. Is the map up to date?

I am looking for suppliers of materials on Australia. My preference is for felt with plants fed nutrients through the irrigation system. Any suggestions?

What would you recommend for a screened area? I would like a vertical garden to block a view but am unsure how to attach to a screened lanai.
May 1, 2012 at 1:45 pm
I just got the grovert. Not having a green thumb I’m struggling to know what’s the best kind of plants or this system. Or are there any plant suggestions?

Hi _ I am currently living in the middle east – Doha Qatar – and would like to use vertical gardens in my kids rooms and in the living room. We live with constant air-conditioning and limited circulation of air. Do you have a distributor or can I get the woolly pockets sent here. I have an Aramex account – which is an international freight company.
Also i would need information on the plants for increasing air quality and purity ( one daughter loves strawberries – is ti possible to have edible plants in them).
Any help is much appreciated
Kind Regards

I became intrigued with idea of planting a horizontal map of the US. Should the whole map be planted with one type of growth habit? We didn’t give consideration to growth habit and now it’s a jumble. Any advice?

I have a long brick wall (25′ or so) that forms the back wall of my garage and faces my patio. The brick wall is not solid (ie: every other brick is an open hole.) I am considering mounting a misting system along the eave above the wall (our house has siding on the eaves) and filling the holes with moss and soil and a felt lining of some kind and planting succulents in some design on the wall. I could make any design I like on the wall. Any ideas on why this would not work?

I am interested in having an herb wall installed in a large kitchen area. Is it possible to install a plant light to increase light during winter months. Is there a framework for the cell grids? Is there a place to see how to mount the vertical wall garden? Where can I order the parts? Is there an irrigation system or do you water from the top and gravity takes care of it? Thanks.

You can definitely install a light to help grow your plants in the winter. Grow lights can work, but you need to do your research. For example, fluorescent lights can be used but they need to be a few inches a way from the plant leaves to be effective. Any further away and the plants don’t get the light they need.
You can order the systems at http://www.uzplanters.com among other places, but I’d recommend them for free shipping in the US.

My wife and I grow a few herbs for use in our kitchen and find the concept to be amzaing… where can we find distributors or instructions on how to build these in our home???
March 8, 2013 at 1:15 am
http://www.uzplanters.com has a great selection..

Hello there! I just want to give you a huge thumbs up for the
excellent information you’ve got right here on this post. I will be returning to your blog for more soon.

Can we buy already complete vertical gardens?
July 14, 2013 at 9:05 am
We have a small business in Taylor’s lakes Victoria. We are looking at getting some vertical gardens in stock to soften up the yard and to sell. Do you have some one that can give me some further information

Hi just wondering if these are available in Australia and where? Very interested for a child care.
Thank you

Hey there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to look it
over. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
Terrific blog and outstanding style and design.
October 18, 2014 at 6:57 am
Wow. Nice picture but
this blog badly oversimplifies the complex and challenging world of green walls. They are not easy to build, and they are definitely not easy to maintain.
Think: gardening hydroponically, (and all the complexities of that) and on a ladder.
Some very difficult parts are:
-Selecting the rights plants
-maintaining nutrients/water regime
-Pruning/cleaning dead leaves.
Common problems are:
-not enough light indoors
-too cold/dry roots outdoors.
Still, green walls and small in-home examples are novel and worth their emotional appeal and worth folks trying.
Killing a plant is not a failure, but a success in learning the limits of a living thing.

Kenton, do you have any suggestions for good plants to use?
March 1, 2016 at 4:45 am
How oftes they need watering and how ?
April 12, 2016 at 2:58 am
When building these kind of walls, I suggest using a watering system so the watering is automated but it will depend on the plant for sure.
