Last month I discussed joining the Home Depot Garden Club. As a member of the Garden Club you receive a $5.00 coupon. (Bonus!) There are also a bunch of fun outdoor project ideas. Nate and I have decided to take on the Vertical Garden.
What exactly is a vertical garden? Good question. Vertical gardens are basically hanging flower boxes. They are like fancy pieces of outdoor art. Vertical gardens can be used to grow flowers, succulents, herbs and even vegetables.
Before heading to the Home Depot, I did a little internet browsing to gather some vertical garden inspiration.

I was really debating succulents and herbs. Mainly because succulents and herbs are all hipster blogger like. After much debate, Nate and I have decided to place the vertical garden on our deck.
Our deck is looking pretty boring and we decided that a vertical planter full of colorful flowers would brighten it up! And who am I kidding? I can only dream of being a hipster. Until next time little succulents.
I learned that vertical gardens have many benefits. I’m always a fan of aesthetics over function. Vertical gardens are great for adding visual drama and hiding ugly walls. Nate is more of a function over aesthetics guy so he enjoyed that weeds are controlled in these gardens and the plants are less accessible to disease and pests.
Armed with our new knowledge and a supply list, we headed to the Home Depot. We first stopped by the garden center where we picked out our flowers. I will share more about our flower selection on Friday. There will be a vlog. It will be awesome.
After selecting our flowers, we headed to our second home (aka: the lumber section) to grab our building materials.
We will share a project tutorial next week complete with supply list. Here’s a sneak peek of what we used. (Hover over the image. Ooo, html magic!)
We pushed our full cart to the front of the store and headed on home to start the project.

ReplyDeletenot going to lie... the HTML magic made my day! haha. Can't wait to see how it all looks! I'm thinking I might grab some old doors at the Habitat Restore and make myself a vertical garden as well :)
ReplyDeleteLove vertical gardens! That HTML photo is intense. Seriously impressed with your skills! I must admit I am pumped for the vlog.
ReplyDeleteVertical gardens are pretty hipster blogger like. Way to be. Can't wait to see the finished product and vlog.
ReplyDeleteYou are tptally a hipster. Almost as much as Henry. Can't wait to see how this turns out. But I'm more excited to see this vlog later in the week.
ReplyDeleteLook at you gettin' all fancy-pants with the html magic pic ;) haha
ReplyDeleteI didn't know vertical gardens were less likely to get weeds. Learn something new every day!
I can't wait to see the finished garden! I love the flower choices. You're such a trendsetter.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are both wearing gray hoodies. I want a vertical garden. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE VLOG!
ReplyDeleteLooks cool! Can't wait to see how it looks :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I really need to look into these because we basically have no yard now.
ReplyDeletePS - Know what would make me happy? If you had a giveaway for your bag. And only told me about it. Yesssssss.....
The secret bag giveaway is no longer secret. Mwahahaha your plan has been foiled! In all seriousness though Michelle, I love this and can't wait to see how it turns out! I was actually just in HD today picking up some of the same flowers!
DeleteLOVE your new planter. Can't wait to see it all finished. Vlog... you had me a vlog... Can't wait ;)
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me-I've got to make one of these. Can't wait to see the finished project.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the results.
ReplyDeleteLove it, cant wait till its finished
ReplyDeleteThat looks so awesome. Can't wait to see the end results!
ReplyDeletei want one already.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the garden!! I need a vertical garden to keep plants away from my dogs and cover up an ugly fence. I'm psyched to see how you did it.....so I can copy you. Ha!
ReplyDeleteOoohhhhhh, I love vertical gardens! It is going to be absolutely perfect in your outdoor space! That is definitely one project that intimidates me, but maybe after I see you and Nate do it, I'll be able to conquer my fear and tackle one of my own!! :)
ReplyDeletePS-I cannot waittttt for vlog!!!!
Ooooh! I cannot wait to see how this turns out! We've been doing a lot of work in the yard lately too.
ReplyDeleteAlso we went to the nursery on Saturday I was trying to explain the succulent phenomenon to Jesse and he just didn't get it, so none for me.
That html thing was magical. I really want to make a vertical garden by my deck! Can't wait to see yours!
ReplyDeleteCool idea. I like.
ReplyDeleteI CANT WAIT TO SEE! And... what kind of black magic coding are you working with?! I need to send Aaron in to investigate :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't wait to see how it turns out. We were looking at some of the ready made vertical garden things at Home Depot yesterday. Yours probably looks really hip. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a sad feeling I'm going to be a garden/flower/potted plant failure this year. I can't imagine lately getting stuff in the ground let along building and hanging it on a wall. But I do have a big garage wall that's blah....
ReplyDeleteBliss
