Some of us have small yards, and some of us have no yards. Scattering potted plants around your patio or living room is one solution, but they take up valuable floor space. Why not plant vertically, utilizing the surfaces of your walls? It sounds impossible, but several companies have created living wall systems-also known as green walls and vertical gardens-that allow you to do just that.
