You may want to consider the height of the lowest planter, too, if your knees crackle like cellophane when you bend down (like mine). Keep in mind the height of the tallest planter, especially if you plan on placing the garden inside. Many options stand directly upright, so the footprint is incredibly small, but there are several aesthetically designed choices with planters that stretch out wider than the base. The sizes of vertical gardens scale drastically, so knowing where you plan to place the garden ahead of time will save you a future headache. Plastic gardens are the most affordable option and serve as a versatile and sturdy choice, albeit with less charm than metal or wood. Most metal vertical gardens are powder-coated to prevent rust, corrosion, and oxidation. Metal gardens offer significant durability and usually lighter, thinner frames. Wooden vertical gardens tend to fit best with rustic styles and stand out as capable, attractive choices. Vertical gardens are usually made out of wood, metal, plastic, or a combination of these.

The diversity of the product means that you can find a garden designed just for your needs, whether you’re growing parsnips or pansies.

Vertical gardens encompass a wide range of materials, sizes, and stylish designs.
