When it comes to gardening, we’re all about making the very best use of all space available…especially when there’s hardly any space to be playing with! That’s why we simply had to share with you this amazing tutorial for creating a vertical planter, which is so incredibly space-saving you could even use it on a small balcony! Best of all, pretty much all of the hard work is done on your behalf as the main piece of the planter is nothing more than an upcycled wooden pallet!
