9 DIY Vertical Gardens for Better Herbs

1. Terra-cotta pots hung from shelves

This eye-catching and straightforward do-it-yourself idea by Home Made Modern is such a great vertical herb garden presentation. Using a 4-inch hole saw, circular holes are bored through cheap pine boards to hold the pots, and the entire assembly is secured with rope and zip ties. View the complete Home Made Modern DIY instructions to create your own vertical herb garden.

2. Repurposed Ammunition-Box Metal Herb Garden

The Horticult’s Ryan Benoit has created an incredible upcycled piece in which old metal ammunition boxes are hung from chains and then filled with plants. Try reusing metal file boxes or mailboxes by drilling holes in their sides and fastening them to the chains with bolts for a similar appearance.

3. Repurposed Herb Garden with Spice Rack

Ever notice the inexpensive spice racks made of white wire that hang from the back of your pantry door? After purchasing one for three dollars at a yard sale, horticultural writer Chris McLaughlin of the blog Laughing Crow & Co. determined it had to be a vertical herb planter immediately. Her book Vertical Vegetable Gardening (Alpha Books) contains further information about this and her other vertical gardening concepts.

4. Repurposed Garden with Hanging File Organiser

Office supplies can occasionally make some surprisingly amazing plants. As an example, consider this cute hanging file organiser with a vertical vegetable garden from Inspired by Charm. The wire compartments are ideal for filing your herbs when lined with hanging basket liners—see what we did there? I apologise; I’m not sorry. See more of Inspired by Charm’s beautiful and simple creation.

5. Hanging Planters with Pipe and Metal Mounts on Walls

The blog of Erin Hatzis is the source of these gorgeous industrial-style images. Although the hanging metal trough planters were purchased from a store, you can easily get a similar look by stringing small pieces of galvanised gutter with natural sisal rope. You can get each of these items, along with some galvanised pipe to hang your planters from, at your neighbourhood home improvement centre.

For a little portion of the price, you can have the appearance of an upscale wall pocket planter.

7. Wall-mounted Hanging Gutter Herb Garden

What happens if you don’t have a wall to plant on and you need to plant vertically? Her Tool Belt’s lovely DIY hanging gutter herb planter shows that she has everything figured out. Vibrantly painted vinyl gutters, suspended from an easy-to-assemble wooden frame by colourful rope, create ideal planters. Enhance the ambience by incorporating plant markers and a hand-painted Fresh Herb sign.

8. A Herb Garden in a Paint Can Hanging

Sometimes creating a vertical garden just involves hanging some gorgeous pots in a clever way. It’s that easy and sweet. See Simple Stylings’ Handmade Paint Can Herb Garden. Paint cans of quart size are given a dimensional pop of aqua paint and suspended from incredibly basic dock cleat hangers.

9. Hanging Bucket Garden with Leaning Trellis

This adaptable and simple-to-assemble leaning vertical garden installation is really striking. It is constructed easily from trellis wood pieces put together to form a grid, and bucket pots painted in bright colours are then hung from a S hook in each grid square. You could even go one step further and grow vines up it if the entire thing is positioned over a plantable area.
