Materials List

• 45 cement blocks
• Potting soil
• Plants and flowers
• Fiskars Big Grip Trowel (400S)

NotesTips to keep in mind:

• The right potting soil is important. Plants that are planted above ground will dry out quicker and potting soil is specially made to retain moisture.
• Consider the light conditions of the location of the vertical garden and purchase plants that will grow best in your space.
• When selecting your plants, keep this landscaper planting tip in mind: use a filler, a thriller, and a spiller. The filler plants are green and add lushness to the vertical garden. The thriller adds eye-popping color. And the spiller adds dimension to the area.
