Best for: Foodies wanting a compact solution for growing herbs and small fruiting plants

Vertical gardens have gained popularity in recent years, and it’s no surprise why. Ideal for those without a backyard for garden beds or bench space to grow kitchen herbs, vertical gardens take the space (and a lot of time) out of traditional gardening.

This one can be used inside or outside, so it’s perfect for a balcony, deck or a sunny inside space. With five pots stacked on top of each other, it can hold up to 20 different flowers, herbs or small fruiting plants such as strawberries. The integrated drainage systems means you only need to water the top pot and watch the water trickle down each level – any remaining water will settle on the bottom tray, so you won’t have any messes. Gardening made simple!
