Creative idea of Horizontal planting systems.

-

 





Most plants grow primarily vertically, but you can achieve variety by growing plants that naturally spread horizontally. Do this by placing support structures that encourage plants to grow vertically and by pruning to achieve a horizontal effect. Moreover, certain design strategies can highlight the horizontal features of some plants and add a horizontal effect to your garden.




Vegetable gardens come in all shapes and sizes. Vegetable gardens can be just as creative and attractive as ornamental flower gardens.

There was a time when people simply had "a garden." Vegetables and flowers were chosen for their usefulness and intermixed in one garden, a cottage garden, that was often in the front yard.



Decorate With Your Vegetable Plants



Some vegetables, like rainbow Swiss chard, are too beautiful to be confined to the vegetable garden. Show them off by making them focal points in your garden.

This rainbow Swiss chard was recently planted in these strawberry pots, but once they fill out, they will be even more beautiful. And as you harvest the outer leaves, new leaves will fill in, keeping the plants fresh looking and us.


Hanging Garden of Vegetables




You can use any type of container you like, from old buckets to recycled soda bottles, even expensive ceramic bowls. Just remember that the containers will get heavy when they are full of wet soil and fruiting plants. This gardener has hung baskets attached to strong horizontal boards along a wall.




Many gardeners know that old, discarded pallets make great compost bins. They also make great vertical gardens. Staple some landscape fabric to the inside of the front of your pallet and the outside of the rear. Fill the whole thing with some good potting soil. Then turn the pallet on its side and make slits where you want to insert your plants. 





A simple crate is all you need to plant a salad garden that will feed you for weeks. This is a variation on a raised bed garden, but since it's self-contained, it's portable. It may be too heavy to lift when full, but if you put wheels on it, you could move it to wherever the sun decides to shine.

Show Off Your Container Collection


If you have shelves, you have a garden—and a nice looking one at that. You do not need to buy special hangers or spend the weekend digging out a spot in the yard—all you need is a set of shelves and some containers.
