Bringing more nature into your home surrounding is one proven way to help you relax and destress. There’s something about nature that is just so enticing. It could be our innate instinct inherited from our ancestors since ancient times. Who knows right? But, one thing for sure is that having greens in or around the house does a great deal in making your home feel more like home. And, one smart way we can do that is by installing vertical gardens. Why is that smart? Firstly, it helps by making good use of those walls around your home. They’re often blank and seemingly empty. Wouldn’t it be great to have something that you can hang on the wall other than paintings and photo frames? Secondly, it’s just look amazing and beats the mainstream way of having your garden at the backyard or pots at the front porch. Let’s see what we have in the list. Be ready to get inspired!

Kitchen is usually boring and people don’t see it as a good idea to have a garden in there. That’s because they’re often cramped with all those utensils and pots! The only spot left would probably be somewhere on the wall or in this case, the space between two cabinets. It’s the perfect place to set up some rods for you to hang your planters. And, there’s no smarter idea than to grow those fresh herbs that you can be using in your cooking!

4. Mobile Planter Post
There isn’t an actual tutorial for this but it’s easy to figure out. You will need lots of wall planter hook to be nailed onto a single wooden pole. And, at the base of that pole, attach to a base with wheels. This really helps to move your plants around especially when you want to shift them to a sunnier part of the house.
5. Chicken Wire Frame Vertical Garden
This idea basically involves building yourself a gateway-like wooden frame. Then, secure a sheet of chicken wire over the frame. That’s what you’ll be using to secure those planters. Arrange as to your creativity. After all that, it’s a matter of choosing the right plants to grow. Choose a bushy kind of plant and you might just be able to grow yourself a garden wall that doubles as a privacy screen.
6. Climbing Plant Wall
This is truly a creative addition to your wall! It might be best to use faux plants for this. It’s way much easier to create the effect as if the vines are visiting each of those planters – creating a garland of greens.
7. Framed Boxes
These framed boxes are broad enough to act as shelves to hold your tiny little planters. You just need a little creativity to mix different frames and to set their arrangement nicely. Then, what’s left is a matter of choosing the right planters to fit on the stage. You wouldn’t want tall growing plants to fit a small frame. Getting succulents maybe best for this considering that they are usually tiny and comes in all sort of color.
8. Trellis Vertical Container Garden
This giant tic-tac-toe frame becomes a platform to hang your favorite potted plant buckets. You get the idea on how to make this at a glance. What’s great about this idea is that it is not fixed on the wall. So, you can relocate the trellis to anywhere you like and to decorate that part of the house.
9. Wall of Cans
Setting up a vertical garden doesn’t have to be expensive. You can reuse those food cans! With a fresh coat of paint to give it a weather-resistant coating, it can become a functional planter that could last a long time. Give it a different color to create a vibrant look that your fence deserves.
10. Gutter Garden
If it can hold soil, then it’s good as planter! This general rule applies to a lot of things and in this case, a gutter! Hang them up with a tough wire. Then, you can grow anything you want in it. It’s gonna make your home standout in a good way. I mean, it’s not like you get to see this everyday. People usually think that plants belong in traditional orange pots. This is gonna break the norm and make people admire your creativity!
11. Wall of Crates
On this beautiful wall, we get to see an arrangement of crates on the wall. They act as shelves that could hold your planters quite magnificently. You don’t always have to put the crates in portrait or landscape. Diagonal works too! It kinda gives a fresh look to it.
12. Bike Planter
Here’s another unique piece of art! It’s not an actual working bike more a metal frame that is fixed to the shape of a bike. But hey, if you have an old bike lying around, don’t let that be a waste! I like how the wall is decorated with butterflies too. The art fills up the space well and everything works harmoniously together to create a nice decorated wall for your home.
13. Pipe Plant
Amazing! These orange pipes are constructed nicely to function as a huge planter. It adds a very unique touch to your home. You can cut the center of the pipe to create opening to plant more greens!

15. Bamboo Tower
Bamboo is a versatile piece of material that you can use for a lot of things! In this idea, the creator made a tower of succulents out of it. They’re light and tough. So, it shouldn’t be a problem to glue them together instead of securing them with nuts and bolts. Go crazy on how you would wanna arrange it. This piece is even good enough to be presented as gifts!
