Vertical Gardening and the Holidays

Vertical gardening can be especially advantageous during the holiday season for a variety of reasons you may or may not have thought of. Here are a few examples:

Space Efficiency: With limited space indoors or in small outdoor areas, vertical gardening allows you to maximize space by growing plants upwards instead of outwards. This is particularly helpful during the holidays when space might be occupied by decorations or guests.

Decorative Element: Vertical gardens can serve as a beautiful backdrop or decoration for holiday gatherings. You can use them as a festive display by incorporating holiday-themed plants or decorations into the design.

Accessibility: Having herbs, vegetables, or even decorative plants grown vertically can make them easily accessible for cooking or decorating purposes during holiday meals and events. They’re right there when you need them.

Gift Ideas: Home-grown herbs, flowers, or small plants from your vertical garden can make thoughtful and personalized gifts during the holiday season. You can create DIY holiday-themed arrangements or small herb bundles as presents. You can also include a PLANTPOCKETS™ vertical grow bag or expandable grow bag with it, so it becomes a starter kit for their very own vertical garden.

Therapeutic Value: Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, tending to a vertical garden can provide a peaceful and therapeutic activity. It can be a great way to relax and de-stress during the busy holiday season and all the shopping that goes along with it.

Educational Value: For families with kids, a vertical garden can be an educational opportunity. Children can learn about different plants, gardening techniques, and the importance of caring for living things. By incorporating vertical gardening into your holiday routine, you not only enhance your space aesthetically but also enjoy the practical benefits of having fresh herbs or plants on hand while engaging in a rewarding and mindful activity.

From everyone at PLANTPOCKETS, have a wonderful Holiday Season!
