Vertical Pallet Gardens

There's loads of information on the web showing different styles of vertical gardens using old wooden pallets as the base for growing plants. I have included some images but just search and you can find numerous ways to grow your plants vertically.

Living Fence

Next week the students working on the garden and living fence ideas will be looking at some other ideas to incorporate on the fence such as growing kanuka, which is used for many different purposes from fences to firewood. Our plan will be to look at whether we can grow kanuka on the fence and if we can what is the best way, then we can start growing them and when mature enough give the young trees to people in the community. 

Other ideas we will be looking include developing an insect fence, just like a insect hotel but on a fence, images to come soon.

Living Fence

Huia, Tania, Luna and Natasha are working on a living fence. Over the next few weeks they are developing plans for the things they want to plant, best places for the plants to grow, where to collect water and all the other aspects they need for their vertical garden.
