Green Walls & Vertical Gardens Workshop
Learn how to design and install your own green wall or vertical garden in this practical, hands-on gardening workshop in Sydney. A green wall is a vertically built structure covered with a variety of plants—from indoor foliage and succulents to herbs, vegetables and climbing plants—helping you maximise space while adding beauty and functionality.
Whether you're short on space, want to create privacy on a patio or balcony, or transform a dull wall into a thriving feature, vertical gardening is a versatile solution. Suitable for indoor and outdoor settings, it allows you to brighten bare walls, grow a kitchen garden near your back door, or create a productive micro-farm in small urban spaces.
Your experienced tutor will guide you through planning and designing a green wall tailored to your space. Explore different systems, materials and plant options, and gain the confidence to bring your vertical garden to life using sustainable urban gardening techniques.
