Constructed cedar troughs are mounted to wooden sides and then stained in this crafty vertical garden project. Get the tutorial at Ginger Snap Crafts.


As these rain gutters (planted with euphorbia and creeping wire vine) demonstrate, salvaged finds can double as excellent, and unusual, vertical gardening systems. Just remember to drill holes in the bottoms of your scores, if necessary, for drainage. Other ideas for repurposed planters: burlap bags and shutters with slats wide enough for you to tuck succulents inside. Plant Them With: Use common sense. The more soil a given item can hold, the bigger the plant — and root system — it's able to sustain. And before planting edibles, make sure your cast-off container is nontoxic.


Similar to nursery flats, these rectangular, plastic trays are divided into planting cells — all slanted at a 30-degree angle, with bottom holes that promote drainage and aeration. Each tray comes with a bracket for mounting, though you'll need to add a wood frame to achieve the "wall art" look above. (Trays, from $39.95; verticalgardeningsystems.com) Plant Them With: Succulents like these, which have shallow root systems, are well-suited for trays with 2" x 2" cells. Opt for the larger 4" x 4" cells when planting small annuals, perennials, and edibles (such as lettuce).


Here, Mason jars are suspended from wooden squares attached to two hanging metal cables. Pro tip: Make sure to line the bottom of your Mason jars with small rocks or pebbles—since there are no drainage holes, this will allow the roots more room to breathe. Get the tutorial at Constant Contact.


For a seamless transition, these stacked planter boxes are actually mounted directly to your fence. Get the tutorial here.


This indoor vertical garden is constructed using only four basic materials: a cabinet door, hooks, a saw tooth hanger, and some pretty tin buckets. Get the tutorial at Room*6.


This adorably kooky vertical garden doubles as a sculpture and incorporates a small bird bath at the very top. Get the tutorial at Home Stories A to Z.


A hanging shoe organizer doubles perfectly as a vertical garden: its pockets are the ideal size for growing individual plants and herbs. Get the tutorial at Instructables.




One person's trash is another person's vertical garden—here, empty plastic soda bottles are packed with soil and hung from a clothesline. Get the tutorial at The Dirt.


If you prefer a clean, minimalist aesthetic, stacked cedar boxes attached to the side of your home make for a striking vertical garden. Get the tutorial at ManMade.


Create a vertical planter pyramid! Keep the structure from becoming too precarious by reinforcing the stacked crates with wooden planks. See more at Little Green Dot.


This hanging planter is made up of five wooden planks with openings that let pots dangle. The planks are spaced evenly between two pieces of rope and are secured with zip ties for a uniform look. Get the tutorial at Survival Life.


Rather than throwing out an old dresser, place it outside and fill it with soil. Stagger how far the drawers are pulled out to create a cascading waterfall-like effect. Get the tutorial at GrizzlyBearModern.



As long as you've got a blank wall or a bare fence that needs beautifying, you can tend edibles, annuals, even perennials with these vertical gardening ideas — all of which inspire high hopes for the season ahead.








This vertical garden—built by affixing hex wire netting to a cedar frame—can accommodate up to 35 small terra-cotta pots (that's a lot of growing potential!). Get the tutorial at AKA Design.
This vertical garden has its very own irrigation system: At the center of the structure, there are two PVC pipes with holes drilled in them for even water distribution. Get the tutorial at Decor and the Dog. For a decidedly less construction-heavy project, neatly stack pots on the rungs of a ladder. For a bit more flourish, add a hook for a hanging planter. Get the tutorial at Small Town Rambler.
