So while vertical gardening is not exactly a new thing, it is definitely something that is becoming a lot more interesting for more and more people.

But what is it all about? Well, the name explains most of it already. Instead of letting your plants grow on the ground you are putting them on walls which lets you save space – indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, it gives people the chance to have their own garden of herbs and vegetables right where they want to have it – in a look that many find visually appealing.

A very successful vertical gardening product that has recently been released on Kickstarter is Herbert. No soil and sun is needed for it—all you have to do is plant your seeds and harvest them afterwards. Just like our plant sensor, Herbert takes care of your plants and makes sure they have everything to flourish.
