vertical garden

Just wanting a few ideas for a vertical garden outside a dining room window. We have a high timber fence which has the western sun beating down on the outside of it in the afternoon. What plants would survive on the inside of the fence in the Queensland heat - we live in Brisbane. I just would

like to look out at greenery instead of a timber fence. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thank you in advance. Cheryl H

    Hi Cheryl, researching plants that thrive in your area will guarantee success, you can buy kits to set up your vertical wall, add a watering system , feed with liquid fertiliser and keep well watered at all times or you could put up shelves on your fence to add pots of trailing plants or be creative and do a real design feature.

    Thank you so much Julie. I knew about the kits, but didn‘t even think about shelves. Great idea. Thanks again, Cheryl

    Hi Cheryl,


    What about using Succulents in your vertical garden?


    Succulents are ideal for areas that are very hot and receive direct western sun in Queensland. They will have the best chance for survival.


    Some suggestion for plant species to use:

    Aptenia cordifolia

    Rhoeo Hawaiian Dwarf

    Echevaria Species – Assorted colours and varieties

    Sedum Species – Assorted colours and varieties

    Senecio Varieties- blue chalksticks

    Plant in group plantings to give a bigger impact


    This video may help?

    Thanks Alison, great video. I’ve never been a huge fan of succulents, but the picture frame looked great. I will try that along with a few other things. Many thanks for your ideas, it’s been a big help. Cheryl
