Build a vertical garden on a shoe rack

Build a vertical garden on a shoe rack


This garden doesn’t take up space and you’re still doing something good for nature: recycling an old accessory.

When the idea for this irreverent planter reached the MY HOUSE editorial team, designer Rebeca Simone was the first to get excited: “I love plants and I don’t have a garden at home”. Landscape designer Caterina Poli, from São Paulo, taught the process step by step and suggested succulents, hardy plants that should only be watered once a week. But the sun must be abundant for them to survive! “Putting it together isn’t difficult. It requires a little patience, but it’s worth it,” says Rebeca. You also discover how to use the same shoe rack on six other occasions.





Material:

  • Nylon shoe rack
  • 1.50 m rod with supports
  • Succulent plants (nine seedlings of different species were used here)
  • 1 kg of topsoil
  • 1 kg of expanded clay
  • Gardening shovel
