22. Vertical garden
• New concept of gardening
• Developed in Switzerland
• Vertical garden- any kind of
construction and support
structure for growing plants in an
upwards-directed, vertical way
• Different designs and concepts
available

23. • Design- available material, space and local
preferences as well as on the creativity and
imagination of the users
• Crops- food crops, (vegetables, fruits, herbs) and
non-food crops (e.g. ornamental plants, medical
plants)

24. • Advance the productivity levels of urban and sub-
urban agricultural production sites
• Growing media- soil, compost, vermicomost, acrylic
material as well as aquaponic and aeroponic
solutions
• Maximizing the use of the resources while
compromising the degradation of nutrients by using
various planting medium

25. • Re-utilize greywater, reclaimed water or the
fertilization with urine
• Use of space - sacks, bags, flowerpots and all kinds of
available receptacles bins, cans, tins, bottels, tanks or
boxes and even the unused places like on the roof of
houses, balconies, on the top of walls or just hung up

26. Different Vertical Garden Designs
• Cultivation arches, cultivation towers or cultivation
bags
• Cultivation umbrellas, cultivation bangles or some kind
of cultivation tat have also been proven useful

bangle and cultivation tat

27. • Cultivation ladders, pyramids or racks can be designed
and constructed to grow plants vertically

28. Operation and Maintenance
• Regular water and nutrient supply
• Bottle irrigation or regular watering with
watering cans
• Plant nutrients - synthetic fertilizers or by
making use of compost, vermicompost and/or
human urine or other organic fertilizer sources

29. Applicability
• Excellent opportunity of growing food in areas where
space is limited
• Effective, simple and sustainable - enhancing food
security for urban communities, slum dwellers and
other communities
• Easily implemention- locally available material at low
cost
• Offers livelihood opportunity
• Contributes to the local food security situation

30. Advantages and Disadvantages
• Low cost
• Minimal agricultural area required
• Contribution to household food security and
alleviation of food shortages and poverty
• Reuse and recycling option for human excreta,
biodegradable wastes and greywater
Advantages:

31. • Temperature insulation by growing plants on the walls
of houses
• Simple and easy to understand
• Little space
• Shifted from place to place
• Used as a ornamental partition in the drawing-room
• Used in indoors

32. Disadvantages:
•Unpleasant odours may appear during the irrigation
with greywater and urine
• A certain amount of labour required
• Regular watering or irrigation system has to be in place
•Single vertical garden – no mixed planting i.e
combination of shade loving and sun loving plants

33. Type of plants
• Shallow-rooted needs very little anchorage
• Sun-loving dwarf plants
• Trailing flower annuals - allysum, pancy, nasturtium
etc.,
• Shade loving foliage or flowering plants –
Semperflorens begonias, Rex or Ornamental leaved
begonias, Africanviolets, Pittonia, Peperomia, Oxalis,
Zebrrina pendula etc.,
