7 Vertical Gardens For Better Herbs

 Gardens for the Best Herbs



You clearly dream of the culinary experience of freshly cut herbs, but alas, you do not have the real estate for a vast formal herb garden. Don’t give up on your daydream! With these nine brilliant vertical herb garden ideas, you will find growing a functional and beautiful herb garden in a very limited space.


1. Hanging shelves with terra-cotta pots


This simple and striking DIY project, created by Homemade Modern, is a unique vertical display for a simple herb garden. Cheap pine boards (with 4-inch holes) are drilled round holes to accommodate the pots, and then the whole thing is tied with rope and zip ties. Create one of your own vertical herb gardens by watching the full DIY tutorial of Homemade Moder.


2. Advanced metal ammunition-box herb garden



In this advanced masterpiece by The Hardicult, Ryan Benoit, old metal ammunition boxes are suspended from chains and then planted with herbs. For a similar look, drill holes in the metal mailboxes or file boxes on their sides and try reusing them using bolts to attach to the chains.


3. Reusable Spice Rack Herb Garden


Have you ever seen cheap white wire spice racks hanging on the back of your pantry door? Well, garden writer Chris McLaughlin found one in the yard sale for three bucks and decided it had to be a vertical herb crop: STAT. You can learn more about this and her other vertical gardening ideas in her book Vertical Vegetable Gardening (Alpha Books), as well as the DIY of this project on her blog Laughing Crow & Co.


4. Recycling hanging file-organizer garden


Sometimes, office supplies can unexpectedly create wonderful gardeners. Case: This attractive vertical vegetable garden, in a hanging file organizer inspired by glamor. Lining wire boxes with hanging basket liners makes it perfect for filing your herbs (see what we did there! Sorry, not sorry). See more of this easy and stunning project inspired by glamor.


5. Wall-mounted pipe and metal hanging plants



View of this industry-vibrating beauty Erin Hodgson's blog. A hanging metal tank is an invention that gardeners buy in a store, but you can easily get a similar aesthetic using small sections of galvanized sewers built of natural sisal rope. Both of these items can be found at your local home improvement center, where you go to some galvanized pipes to hang your gardeners. Get this DIY walk here.


6. Hanging shoe-organizer garden


This simple, inexpensive version of the vertical garden came from the farm and foundry. Your shoe collection is a real mess because you want to recreate that door canvas pocket organizer as an incredible living wall gardener. For a fraction of the cost, you will get the look of a luxurious high-quality wall pocket gardener. View full DIY from farm and foundry.


7. Freestanding Hanging Cutter Herb Planter


You have to plant vertically but what if you do not have a wall to do it? Her tool belt was invented with this adorable DIY hanging canal herb. Brightly painted vinyl drains create the perfect gardener when suspended by colorful rope from an easily created wooden frame. Enhance the beauty by adding new hand-painted herbal identifiers and plant markers.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
