Discover how to create a beautiful and productive garden, even in a small space! In this video, we'll show you how we transformed an area into a vertical wall using hanging fabric pots. With 24 additional pots, we were able to grow a variety of plants and herbs, making the most of our limited space. This idea is perfect for those with a small garden space on a patio, balcony, or even a wall. Get inspired and learn how to bring your garden to new heights with hanging pots.

Vertical Garden Space Project Cost 
The new garden space resulted in 24 garden pots! The cost increased due to the potting soil and hanging pots, so I will share some alternatives to reduce the cost below. 

2 horizontal hanging fabric pots [14.99 each / 29.98 total] 
2 vertical hanging fabric pots [14.99 each / 29.98 total]
1 1/2 bags (2 cubic feet) potting soil [$8.97 each / $13.45 total]  
18 Screws/washers [15 cents / $2.70 total]  
2 pallets [Free] - selection of non-toxix pallets listed below

Total cost of project: $76.11

BUDGET-FRIENDLY OPTIONS:  To reduce the cost, I've shared some ideas I also considered!

- Ring mounts can be replaced by the aeration hanging pots. I love the appearance of these hanging pots, but could have reduced the cost a great deal by purchasing ring mounts for the pallets instead. In fact, I may consider purchasing some to fill in the gaps on the pallet in the future. Still considering if it's necessary. 

- Paint or stain pallets if considering exposing the wood more. If using ring mounts or other types of shelving, paint it a color of your choice. Free pallets aren't always that appealing. 

- Screws/Washers are not necessary, the fabric pots come with zip ties, so nails can be used to reduce the cost by about 4 dollars. I liked the way the washers look with the black garden pots, though!

NON-TOXIC FREE PALLETS 
When considering a free resource like a pallet, I often select pallets marked with the following
DB = Debarked
HT = heat-treated

You can also do some research on the internet to find how to obtain these free non-toxic pallets for projects in your garden or home.

I hope this information was helpful!
