Space-saving ideas

Vertical planters, stands, and structures are ideal space-saving ideas for small areas, courtyard corners, or urban settings. Vertically growing plants and raised containers often provide more sunlight. Vertically growing plants enjoy better air circulation, which reduces rot, look healthy, and receive more attention.
