Living walls have become an increasingly popular way to add extra colour to a garden by brightening up a boring, blank wall. And a wall of foliage is the perfect way to make the most use of the smallest of garden spaces, or even balconies, by going upwards.
Get your garden to grow vertically, as well as horizontally in beds and pots, and you'll feel immersed in nature. Plus a living wall can also be the perfect spot to grow some herbs and salads and make your garden inspire your cooking too.
Some people might opt for a trellis and a climbing plant in a pot to create vertical visual interest, and there are numerous 'ready-made' living walls you can buy in store or on-line but be prepared to pay much more for the structure and the established plants. But if your budget is less than £50 there are still options to create a living wall.
