Have you ever seen the beautiful hanging gardens displayed in Babylonian during ancient times on TV? Fascinating, right? Do you want own one in your own garden? Let’s read this article about Vertical Garden.

With less space and big harvest, vertical gardening is a unique way that can take advantage of the vertical space you have in your garden. Most importantly, it is a fantastic way to add some lush greenery to your home.

You can just install vertical flower beds or simply use hanging containers to display them on walls or fences. What’s more, make sure your plants have sturdy support and plenty of sunlight.

What Are the Best Plants for Vertical Gardens?

There are many important points to consider: Are you focusing on the aesthetic aspect most? Are you seeking for edible plants? Is the area big or wide enough? Is the area exposed to light or shaded?

Generally speaking, which type of plants mainly depends on the purpose that you are trying to get, the space in your garden, and the climate. Here, we will show you some popular ones.

BEGONIAS

They come in many shapes and sizes, such as cane, compact and variegated. All of them are covered with their pink, white or apricot flowers and thrive in the small garden

Ferns

Ferns can definitely fit a stunning vertical garden. In a vertical garden setup, the hanging leaves of the ferns hang over the edges of the vertical frame, making for a lush, forest-like look.
