Why Vertical Gardens Are More Than Just a Trend

Green walls and vertical gardens aren’t just about aesthetics; they bring life into a space, improve air quality, and create a sense of calm and connection to nature. Whether you have a compact courtyard, an apartment balcony, or a sprawling garden, vertical planting allows you to maximize greenery without compromising space.

At Temple, we’ve been incorporating vertical gardens into homes, courtyards, and commercial spaces across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast for years—helping people create lush sanctuaries where nature meets design.

5 Ways to Create a Vertical Garden in Any Space

Wall-Mounted Planters: A Living Canvas.

Modular wall planters are a perfect way to introduce vertical greenery to courtyards, patios, and balconies. Choose a mix of cascading plants (like Boston fern or trailing ivy) alongside structured greens (such as succulents or native ferns) to create texture and movement. These are great for renters too—no major structural changes required.

Trellised Vines: Natural Privacy & Softened Edges

Want to soften a harsh wall or add privacy? A trellis covered in jasmine, star creeper, or passionfruit vine creates a soft, organic barrier. This works beautifully against fences or even as a freestanding feature within a courtyard.

Living Green Walls: A Lush Urban Escape

For a dramatic statement, fully integrated green walls are a showstopper. Designed with self-watering systems, these lush panels bring biodiversity into urban spaces. Popular in high-end residential and hospitality projects, they create an instant sanctuary effect, offering a cooling impact and natural air purification.

Potted Vertical Layers: A Flexible, Sculptural Look

Instead of attaching plants to walls, consider a tiered shelving system or hanging planters. Layer different pot sizes, heights, and greenery to create a dynamic, sculptural effect. Herbs like rosemary and thyme thrive in vertical gardens, making this a great option for edible greenery pots, walls or gardens.

Moss & Hydroponic Panels: The Future of Indoor Greenery

For low-maintenance greenery that doesn’t require soil, moss walls or hydroponic panels are an elegant, sustainable solution. They bring a soft, organic texture to interiors while acting as natural sound absorbers—ideal for creating a peaceful environment in homes, offices, or meditation spaces.
