2. The landlord says no to digging up the yard.
But there are ways to enjoy greenery and veggies by utilizing the walls. Whether inside or out you can still have a garden space.
Balcony Vegetable Garden
If you have a balcony in your rental or condo or even just a tiny patio space, you can utilize the outdoor walls or railings to grow veggies.Thinking outside the box and researching a few ideas I came across these products that would help grow an awesome veggie garden by using the wall space or inside the railing.
This one has 36 self watering pockets that you could attach to the inside of the balcony railing or on the wall. As long as you can get some daylight you can grow veggies.
In a small space or apartment you can take advantage of wall space and keep your floor space open. Creating a living wall is the perfect way to grow veggies or flowers or whatever you wish.
12 Pocket Vertical Wall Planter This one is made in the USA from recycled nylon felt and is super lightweight. It has tabs so you could slip it onto a rail or any kind of hanging system. This would be perfect for the inside of balcony railings.
It can act as privacy for your balcony and it can grow veggies or flowers. Creating a living wall with these pockets is a wonderful way to dress up your space and keep your floor space open.
Hanging Flower PouchesIf you want to also grow pretty flowers and really brighten up your balcony railing or walls, you can hang these pouches on the inside of the balcony or railing and enjoy a beautiful flower garden without any pots on the floor.
There is plenty of vertical space to secure an area for your fresh veggies and herbs and then also allow room for your pretty flowers and you can create an awesome oasis on your patio or balcony without using any floor space at all.
As you can see this bag can hang on the railing on the inside to create not only beautiful flowers but create privacy as well. Best of both worlds.

f you goal is to simply dress up a wall either inside your home or out on the balcony or back patio, you can use these really cool air plants, that don't need soil.Depending on your climate you can create a living wall or terrarium using air plants such as the ones pictures.

Tillandsia Air Plant Kit
After much research I found that you can get these air plants online in a kit. This kit includes 11 plants and one bottle of special fertilizer.Tillandsia's are powerful air cleaners as well as beautiful You can arrange them in an artistic way and many people refer to them as living art.
They only need watering once a week and don't require any soil, so you can display them in a grouping to get the best effect on the wall. This is definitely wall gardening!
Vertical wall gardening doesn't have to be just vegetables, it can be gorgeous flowers, or air plants, or anything you want.
Why just hang pictures when you can create living walls?
You can create an awesome oasis of fresh herbs and veggies, flowers and greenery that can help de-stress you from your day.
Don't forget to consider the walls when it comes to your garden. Veggies can grow in pockets of soil, they don't have to have huge land areas. Imagine just picking fresh tomatoes off your balcony?
I hope I have got you as inspired as I am to get utilizing those blank walls outdoors and indoors.
You can get pretty creative when it comes to hanging plants. As you can see in this picture hanging hooks close to the wall and then hooking one plant to another is another option when it comes to vertical gardening.
