Garden Markers Identify Your Plants as You Plant Your Vertical Garden

identify your plantsLiving surrounded by buildings and city life can be exciting, but it also leaves many people yearning to be refreshed by greenery and living plants. Vertical gardens are the city-dwellers’ answer to planting a garden when space is limited. A little bit of space, a little imagination and markers to identify your plants are all you need to transform cinderblock into your own secret garden.

You can create vertical gardens indoors or out and they can do more than provide lush aesthetics. They can be used for functional purposes, too. Here are a few ways to put a vertical garden to work for you.

1. Visual Enlargement
Square footage is at a premium when you live in the city. If you are lucky enough to have a patio space, it’s likely to be small. But you can make that little space look far larger with some vertical gardening. If you look at a fence or wall surrounding your patio it’s easy to feel closed-in. But by greening up the walls you will turn a patio into a garden that feels more spacious. Treat your patio like a real garden and use markers to identify your plants.

2. Visual Interest
You may look out on an alley or directly at a brick wall. But place a vertical garden in front of that wall or bleak building façade and you will be tempted to open your curtains more often just to drink in the view.

3. Visual Invitation
The space issue can be challenging when you live in a metropolitan area. If you have any outdoor space, you want to use it. Planting a vertical garden along a wall will draw your guests outside. Your wall garden will make it easier to entertain because everyone won’t want to stay indoors when there is such a beautiful area beckoning them to come and enjoy. Your vertical garden will provide the added benefit of being a cool space. When the cement and concrete heat up in summer, your plants will offer a cool retreat.

4. Visual Barrier
The thing about living in town, is that there are always people. Sometimes that is thrilling. Other times, you just want a little personal space. An artificial fence in the form of a vertical garden works great. Your green screen can be just enough to give you back the privacy you crave.
