vertical garden
Upright planted wall
A vertical garden is a method of growing plants on an upright surface rather than in traditional horizontal beds, using structures like trellises, wall-mounted containers, or specialized panels.
These gardens maximize growing space in urban environments where ground area is limited.
The term covers everything from simple vine-covered walls to elaborate hydroponic systems on building facades.
The restaurant's vertical garden supplies fresh herbs for the kitchen.
