Assess Your Space from Floor to Ceiling

Match structure to maintenance style. Trellises support climbers, grids hold hooks and baskets, and felt pockets suit herbs. Ask questions below, and download our checklist to avoid common mistakes with vertical garden ideas.

Pick Plants That Thrive Vertically
