What is a Vertical Garden?

To most people a garden is simply a patch of soil in their yard filled with flowers or vegetables.  Now the question is why do we restrict ourselves to only this horizontal space?  Vertical Gardening is a way of utilizing the vertical space to grow plants using hydroponic drip systems and a little ingenuity.  This type of growing makes better use of wall space and is great for a window inside if you don't have access to normal garden space outside.

Throughout the coming weeks I'll be creating my own vertical garden to explore this growing method and its potential.

Here is a video that demonstrates some of the intricacies of building a vertical garden.
