Before you start your vertical garden, make sure the plants you choose will get enough sunlight in your available space. To help you get started, we've pulled together eight products to make your indoor or outdoor vertical garden a success.

trellis

Depending on your space, there are different options for vertical gardening. A great outdoor option is using a trellis. Trellising is perfect for growing climbing produce like tomatoes, beans or squash. When planted, these plants will grab on to the trellis and climb upwards. Learn how to build a butternut squash garden trellis here.

While a trellis works well for in-ground planting, you can also start a vertical garden using containers, aka garden towers. With containers, you can easily move your garden around depending on the season and where your plants will get the most sunlight.
