We’re always on the lookout for new ways to beautify our home and garden. Various trends and twists on those trends are ever-changing.
One such twist is making your garden vertical.
This raging trend is most often seen in public spaces, such as coffee shops, and perhaps most famously, the Singapore Airport.
1. Vertical Gardens In Public Spaces
The Changi Airport in Singapore boasts one of the most impressive vertical gardens in the whole world.
It contains 100 different species of plants that blend with the technology into a thing of ultimate beauty.
2. Why Go Vertical?
There are three main reasons people choose to add a vertical garden to their property: lack of room on the ground, a different aesthetic, and the need for nature.
So, if you find yourself lacking a large enough garden (or at all), consider a vertical garden. It’s different and allows us to connect with nature in a way we usually cannot in the cities.
As the majority of people moved into the cities and away from the country, we found ourselves missing our connection to nature and greenery.
In part at least, a vertical garden may fulfill that need.
3. Bringing Liveliness to Your Flat
No matter how modern and well-built, lots of communal flats don’t possess the homey vibes every person craves.
All the concrete, glass, and absolute lack of natural greenery take away from it.
Enrich your balcony with a simple vertical garden to add liveliness to both your life and your neighbors.
4. Vertical Roof Garden
Roof balconies are pure joy on their own, though there’s always room for improvement.
Adding a touch of vertical greenery to your surroundings will make the space pop and make any roof parties livelier and more pleasant.
5. Create a Grid
Get yourself a wooden grid upon which you can fix flowerpots and build your vertical garden.
Alternatively, you could combine the two concepts – create a vertical garden and plant a regular garden right below.
6. Surround Your Pool
Use plants – mainly ivy – to enrich the poolside of your home.
A piece of nature by the pool can completely transform the experience and prevent your pool from looking too industrialized.
7. Create a Mosaic of Color
Incorporate a variety of flowers into your vertical garden to maximize its abundance of color.
8. Liven Up a Dull Wall
Even the most classic of flowerpots have the potential to make a lovely vertical garden.
It’s a big plus if you arrange them in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing way.
9. A Modern Touch
Incorporate a black or gray planter to promote the modern style of your vertical garden and the overall space.
10. The Vertical Trend
Maximize the vertical borders within your vertical garden.
It also adds to the modern appeal and makes the garden appear extra orderly.
11. Turn Your Door Into a Magical Portal
Use a vertical garden to beautify your front door.
You’ll get an extra wonderful result if your door is painted a striking color.
12. Bring the Vertical Garden Inside
Don’t limit your vertical garden to the outdoors.
It’s a lovely and welcome addition to the interior, as well. Transform your dining or living room with a rich plant wall.
13. Naturalize the Modern Kitchen
Search for a modern planter to match your kitchen and enrich it with colorful flowers.
The blend of natural beauty and sleek modernity will blow your mind. You could even use the vertical planter to plant edible herbs and spices!
14. A Touch of Freshness
Introduce freshness and liveliness into your modern interiors with a vertical garden.
15. The Mirror Illusion
Once you’re hooked on the idea of vertical gardens, you’ll want to coat your entire house in them.
A great way to create the illusion of a huge vertical garden when it’s really not is to use mirrors!
16. Magic & Privacy
City living leaves many people without their own spacious gardens and trees that may hide them from prying neighbors.
Plant walls are a great solution to this common problem. Not to mention, they’re incredibly beautiful!
In Conclusion
Vertical gardens are a lovely reminder of human resourcefulness.
When faced with a lack of gardening space, we managed to find a way to have plants and to also make them even lovelier!
