Vertical Gardening: Grow Up, Not Out, for More Vegetables and Flowers in Much Less Space

Notable creator and gardener Derek Fell has tried and tested thousands of varieties of vegetables, flowers, and fruits and recommends the most productive plants for space-saving vertical gardening. His grow-up, grow-down system also shows which ground-level plants make good companions underneath and alongside climbing plants. Best of all, many of Fell’s greatest climbers and mutually a good suggestion plants are to be had in seed packets in each and every local garden center.

With a mixture of DIY and commercially to be had string supports, trellises, pergolas, raised beds, skyscraper gardens, and topsy-turvy planters, the vertical garden system reduces work, increases yields, makes harvesting easier, and may also be practiced in spaces as small as a container or a one-by-four-foot strip. Vertical Gardening features 100 color photos of the creator’s own vertical methods and showcases beautiful, troublefree perennials, shrubs, vegetables, annuals, and fruit perfect for this new, rewarding way to garden.
