Installing shelves, wall-mounted planters, or trellises will help you make the most of the vertical area.

Plant complementary plants together; for example, cultivate basil next to tomatoes to keep pests away or grow lettuce under taller plants for shade.

Assign shade-tolerant plants to shadier places and sun-loving plants to the sunniest spots.

Utilise your growth season to its fullest by using succession planting. 

To design a well-organized and aesthetically pleasing garden area, use hanging baskets, wall-mounted planters, and tiered plant stands. 

Hang planters from fences, ceilings, or other structures to free up ground space. This is a great option for growing herbs, strawberries, or trailing flowers.

Place your containers or planters in locations that receive the maximum sunlight for your specific plants.
