Things are looking up for vertical gardening

It’s time to make the most of your small spaces — blank walls cam become canvasses of colour, writes Peter Dowdall.

Do you know when you hear a word or a term for the first time and then all of a sudden you start hearing it everywhere?

Remember when a text was another word for a book, mail was an American word for post, and hashtag made no sense at all? Well, in my world, the term du jour is “vertical gardening”. In 2012, I had never heard the expression now it seems that everybody is talking about it. Vertical gardening is as it sounds, bringing the garden up instead of out, particularly effective in small spaces.
