People with small or nonexistent living spaces shouldn't have to go without the beauty of foliage. How To Vertical Garden gives an overview and some crucial tips on how to use vertical spaces (such as walls) as gardens. The benefits to doing vertical gardening are numerous and include: hobby gardening in a small space that lacks a large enough yard, covering up ugly walls with vegetation, and creating an interesting landscape.The book is clearly written and concise. It covers how to get started, selecting appropriate vegetation, pots, making a stable area for the plants, and other related subjects. It doesn't push any particular brand of fertilizer or gardening tools, and instead encourages the reader to find what works best for them and their budget and time constraints. This book is a good, informative starting point for anyone who wants to learn more about vertical gardening, but it is fairly basic. If you have want a more in-depth book about gardening, this might not answer all your questions.
