3. The Cascading Trellis

For those who prefer a more organic approach, a trellis allows climbing plants to do the work of creating a vertical garden for you.

  • The Concept: Install a sturdy metal or wooden trellis against a wall and plant climbing varieties like clematis, jasmine, or creeping fig at the base.
  • The Vibe: Timeless and romantic. As the plants mature, they create a natural “green wall” that looks like it has been growing for decades.
