Putting a wall garden on a dry wall can make it stronger and more beautiful. It can look old and covered in moss if you fill the cracks with soil and plant flowers, herbs, or ground cover there. But you can add more colour by planting any of several flowering plants, whose strong roots will also help hold the wall together. Some plants that work well are flowering types like azaleas, alyssum, evergreen candytuft, heather, phlox, garden pinks, sedum, snowy rock cress, and creeping veronicas; spreading plants like lavender, moss, phlox, and hardy verbena; small rosettes and tufts that need sun and room for roots like sempervivum, dwarf iris, dwarf pinks, and yarrow; A bank or rock wall stays green all winter with Semperviviums, azaleas, prostrate junipers, and dwarf azaleas.
It can be hard to decorate the garden wall. You can choose from wall decorations made to look like fibreglass, copper, or brass, as well as a wide range of terracotta items, such as plaques. Many bird feeders and bird houses can be hung on the wall. The thing we like best, though, are garden wall fountains. This is great for smaller yards where a big fountain by itself just won't work. Most modern wall fountains for gardens are self-contained, which means they don't need any special plumbing. The water just goes back and forth between the basin and the back of the fountain, down the decorative facade, and back into the basin. Most of the time, the pump is the same type as a pump for a fountain or an aquarium. Speed and noise are two things to look for in a pump. Choose fountains with pumps that can be set to different speeds and are quiet. You want to hear the sound of the water, not the vibrations of a cheap pump. There are many things that can be used to make garden wall fountains, but fibreglass, cast stone, and copper are the most common.
In short, a garden wall is a way to make your own garden bigger. Fill it with plants and decorations that fit your own style and landscape plan. And don't forget that the only "rules" are the ones you make!
