A little bit of greenery always manages to spruce up a home, a garden or a terrace. When less space is available one can choose to have a vertical garden which in turn will save a lot of space and provide a gardening area to work with. Then the only task left is to choose the types of plants to grow: eatable, ornamental or the blooming kind. Here are a few vertical garden possibilities to inspire all.

Wood pallet garden

With a small area to work with such as the balcony space allotted in this picture, a vertical garden made with wooden pallets is a clever space saver. Since there is much available space to use overhead in this picture, the wood pallet is a tall one that can accommodate many varieties of plants. This type of vertical gardening is marvellously adapted to its space allowance as well as providing an array of different shades of green from the plants in it.
