Vertical gardens have always been and will always be a popular idea because they let you grow without wasting ground space. We usually see such gardens in balconies or on the exterior walls but you can also use your fence. Fence gardens are gaining popularity, and that’s for a reason: they don’t steal ground space, they can act as decor and add interest and eye-catchiness to the space and they add planting space. Here are some ideas to design such a garden on the fence.
Planters On The Fence
The most popular idea is attaching planters right to the fence. There are many ways to do it: glue the planters, hang them using various hooks and chain, make holders to support each planter or attach wooden slats to hold them. Choose the solution that matches the style of your garden and add curb appeal to it. Gluing planters is the most decorative idea, in my opinion, as it creates a unique look. Attaching wooden slats will allow your fence to accommodate a lot of pots. The pots themselves also matter: choose them according to the style and renovate or repaint them if needed.

Trellis On The Fence
Attaching a trellis to the fence is smart: it can hold both planters and vines. You can attach or hang pots and place a planter with vines at the fence to cover the trellis, too. In some time you will get a very lush fence, almost a living wall. Make sure your trellis matches the fence in color, so that it didn’t stand out too much until it’s covered with plants.
