Simon introduces Jack’s easy-to-install vertical garden solutions, perfect for adding greenery and growing flowers, herbs, and veggies in small spaces.

• Many Australians are now living in smaller spaces, such as apartments or compact homes, where garden space is limited. This often means giving up on growing our beloved plants, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
• Hanging gardens have been around for centuries, from ancient homes in Europe to cantilevered baskets in North America. While not always feasible in every setting, these ideas can still inspire modern solutions for compact living.
• Jack offers a range of small pot basket solutions perfect for smaller spaces, including rail planters, wall stackers, and wire-mounted pots. These easy-to-install options make it simple to bring greenery into even the smallest of spaces.
• Your walls are an untapped resource that can easily be transformed into a vibrant garden. With Jack’s stackable pots, you can create a cascading vertical garden that turns bare walls into lush, green displays.
• Jack’s wall stackers are designed with small reservoirs at the base to store water, perfect for combating the drying effects of vertical gardens. This thoughtful feature helps conserve moisture and ensures your plants stay hydrated.
• When selecting plants for vertical gardens, consider the amount of sunlight the wall receives. Walls under roof eaves may require shade-loving plants, while sunnier spots can support vegetables or sun-loving flowers.
• Vertical gardens are space-saving, reduce the risk of pests, and are easier to maintain since you don’t have to bend or kneel. They also add beauty and serenity to small spaces like balconies, patios, and rooftops while maximizing your gardening potential.
