DIY Vertical Gardens on a Budget

So yes, I am completely obsessed with vertical gardens – perhaps because my backyard is the size of a postage stamp so I am always looking for ways to maximize space and ‘grow up.’  I recently spotted this very cool architectural ‘green’ wall in the June/July 2010 issue of ReadyMade Magazine in the article Living on a Wall (online pics do not do this garden justice, you’ve got to see them in the magazine!). So cool – totally want to replace our pathetic chain link fence with this modern living sculpture.

Very easy to customize this look for your own space adjusting height and length to fit your location. And could plant with a mix of fruits, vegetables and flowers. For full instructions on how to build your own check out the article in full: Living on a Wall
