Create Your Own Vertical Garden + Upcycled Containers

Green plants in pots

Are you looking to add some greenery to your living space but don't have much room to spare? Why not create your own vertical garden using upcycled containers! Not only will this project help you go green, but it will also give your space a unique and charming touch.

Materials Needed:

  • Upcycled containers (such as coffee cans, mason jars, tin cans, or wooden crates)
  • Plants suitable for vertical gardens (like succulents, herbs, or trailing vines)
  • Potting soil
  • Drill (if containers need drainage holes)
  • Hooks or mounting hardware
  • Watering can or spray bottle

Steps to Create Your Vertical Garden:

  1. Choose your containers and make sure they are clean and dry.
  2. If your containers don't have drainage holes, use a drill to create a few holes at the bottom for proper drainage.
  3. Fill each container with potting soil, leaving some space at the top for the plants.
  4. Plant your chosen greenery into the containers, making sure they are secure and upright.
  5. Arrange the containers in a vertical pattern, either by hanging them on hooks or mounting them on a wall.
  6. Water your plants according to their specific needs, making sure not to overwater.
  7. Admire your new vertical garden and watch it grow!

Vertical gardens not only save space but also improve air quality and add a pop of color to any room. By upcycling containers, you are not only reducing waste but also adding a unique touch to your home decor.

So, gather your materials, get creative, and start your own vertical garden today!
