Frugal Living Tips

Make Your Own Vertical Garden!

I saw these beautiful displays at the Royal Show this week, at an Aluminium Gutter Company stand.

After inquiring about these displays, the agent mentioned that a local nursery at Pietermaritzburg did these for this stand. It looks like a 200mm Penta plastic pipe was used to create the vertical display.

(I've seen this method used before by using a horizontal gutter with stop ends on both sides for growing herbs inside it as well, at a previous display years ago).

Look also at the clever use of aluminium shorter pieces (off cuts can probably be used too) for the flower boxes displays.

I am sure these products will give years of pleasure to gardeners with small gardens as well, as it occupies so little space.

I've had a wonderful time walking and enjoying all the lovely stands on display at this year's Royal Show at Pietermaritzburg, KZN South Africa.
