This colourful flower feature is simply woven in with an old pallet.

But by adding flowers and a fairy house, it has been transformed into a beautiful garden feature.

It’s a bit like a hanging basket on the wall.

Simply divine!

The simplicity of colours and the limit of types of plants makes this an elegant garden.

By using plants which grow up as well as plants which grow down, a playful ‘green curtain’ is created.

Simple and well executed.

Wooden Wall Vertical Garden

The wooden wall fence is an unusual feature in itself and you would need a large garden to pull it off, especially to accomodate the all important day bed.

Sun direction also plays a large part here.

It’s important to break up the large wall, and the wooden flower boxes blend in so well – they become part of the wall.

By using just greens, the wall has an elegant and calm feel to it.

It’s not always easy to add plants to a small balcony.

However, by going up, much more is possible.

And as many high rise buildings are in built up areas, some extra green is often appreciated.

An easy watering system could take away the concern if you’re frequently away.

This is a simple and inexpensive way of adding greenery if you have limited space.

And if you like colour? Just add flowers!

This is a cost effective way of adding plants to your exterior wall using heavy duty wall trellis.

This is a great example of a small neat garden wall.

The size of the plant boxes reduces your plant options a little as there won’t be enough soil to grow larger plants.

There is also a larger upfront cost of the stand and the pots themselves.

But it works well for very small area as the wall has minimal depth, so is perfect if space saving is high on your agenda.

DIY Garden Wall Planter

This DIY garden wall planter is well made and has been made to a high standard.

If colourful pots were used with colourful planting the whole visual (and feel) would be transformed.
