Top Plants for Your Vertical Garden in Australia

Vertical gardens are perfect for properties on smaller plots of land as well as homes where privacy might otherwise be an issue.

If one or more of your neighbours’ properties overlooks yours, building vertical gardens in strategically chosen locations can provide you with the personal space you need outside.

Due to us being able to make them free-standing, it really enables us to have a vertical garden in most settings.

The question is what’s the best vertical garden plant selection to use in your space and how do you go about that process?

Selecting the best plants for your vertical garden

One of the most important parts of having a vertical garden is the plant selection and knowing what plants work within our system.

The good news with us is through our years of experience we have narrowed it down to 60 varieties that we know work within our system and then we break them down into categories from:

• full sun (afternoon sun for more than 2 hours)
• Part sun (morning sun)
• Full Shade
• Indoor

Once we thoroughly assess your space we can give you better advice on what plants are going to thrive in your area and, more importantly, design the garden according to what works and what look and feel is important to you.

We go through a detailed plant design process with you to ensure we capture your vision and bring life to your space.

We also have a great range of native plants and edibles that can thrive in certain areas, so if you love cooking with fresh herbs and vegetables, let us educate you on how to make that happen for you.

An automated watering system is recommended for most installations, however this isn’t mandatory depending on how low maintenance you would like your vertical garden to be.

Benefits of using native plants for vertical gardens

There are several reasons to choose native plants for vertical gardens in Australia, wherever you are located. Native species tend to thrive in local conditions, for obvious reasons and are freely available at low cost. Furthermore, choosing native species could make your vertical garden more environmentally friendly too. We always encourage our clients to consider native species wherever possible.
