In Vertical Vegetables, author Amy Andrychowicz shows you a thing or two about growing up. Gardening vertically, that is. With practical principles and the incisive background information you'll need to start, Andrychowicz shows you how to build nearly two dozen growing structures, including trellises, arbors, archways, wall pockets, towers, and more.
Bigger yields per square foot may be the main reason for vertical growing, but vertical gardens also offer opportunities that go beyond the purely functional: They can be beautiful, too. Among the many projects in her book, Andrychowicz has included several that are eye-widening and stunning, especially once the garden has matured. Freestanding or wall-hung, the projects also reflect a wide variety of building materials, including dimensional lumber, metal rebar, fabric, and even upcycled everyday objects.
Vertical Vegetables is packed with important information, including lists of plants that are best suited for vertical growing. This beautiful project book is your key to more garden produce and improved outdoor living in any space, from tiny and urban to large and sprawling.
