Hanging Garden Installation on Wooden Fence at Cornish Pasty in Flagstaff

Flower Street Urban Gardens has been working with the Cornish Pasty in Phoenix for quite a few years now and recently got the opportunity to create vertical hanging gardens to complement their beautiful new outdoor dining deck space at their restaurant in Flagstaff. 

The installation in Flagstaff is quite different than the downtown Phoenix installation which has hanging garden planters along the outer wall of the building. We wanted to show you how easy it is to install our %LINK% on a typical wooden fence. 

We ensure the vertical hanging garden brackets are attached to the vertical fence posts, if necessary, additional support can be added to secure a bracket. 

Another important aspect of installing a hanging garden on a fence and deck is the irrigation system and water. We have hidden irrigation lines that come from behind the fence and up to keep the plants and flowers watered. 

We want to ensure that we do not cause any water damage to the wood so we have drainage catch trays that collect any excess water. Each day the trays can be easily removed, and dump the water back into the %LINK% and hang the trays back up. This keeps the deck nice and clean as well as conserves water.

We are so pleased with this install on this beautiful wooden fence. Our Flower Street Urban Gardens vertical hanging gardens look great with the wood and the fence and the deck. Thank you Cornish Pasty in Flagstaff!

Backyard Vertical Garden Planters

Are you someone who’s interested in gardening, but would prefer not to get down on your hands and knees at ground level to develop your own backyard garden? 

Well, we have an answer for you – vertical garden planters. These are gardens built with strong, western red-cedar wood, (which weather and rot-resistant) bracketed together to create lateral garden space that you can walk along and easily tend to. 

Our patented vertical garden planters are placed on your backyard wall, at your height, to dig your fingers into the soil and plant your own edibles, from beans to tomatoes, fruit/vegetables, or decorative flowers.

Flower Street Urban Gardens is located in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. We build vertical garden planters that:

• Grow food and flowers (outside & inside)

• Fit into smaller backyard spaces

• Can measure up to 40 ft. in length 

• Are highly water-efficient

• Are easy and enjoyable to work out of

More importantly, we are not just a distributor of materials, we walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to urban gardens and can help assist you in your gardening endeavors through our years of experience.

You see, we believe that urban gardening is more than just an end result of a growing season. It’s a journey, one involving love, care, and devotion that anyone can experience through gardening. 

Gardens provide a back to nature respite from the urban noise. We may be in the busy city of Phoenix, but once you come to our backyard workspace, you feel as though you’re deep in the gardening country. Come have a look: 

Our Backyard

A visit to our Flower Street Urban Gardens generally produces wonder and awe among visitors who come here. That’s because we’ve designed our back gardens to not only be a workspace for our production but also a garden filled with flowers and edibles.

In our urban garden, we grow plants, vegetables, fruit-bearing trees, as well as maintain a sizable chick coup to get fresh eggs every day. 

In our work, we take joy in gardening and building an oasis that not only gives us food and vegetables to eat but also provides a sense of calm and wonder in our space. 

 

Set Up Your Vertical Garden Planters

You too can start on your gardening journey with your own vertical garden planters! Setting up a vertical garden is simple. 

You’ll need a wall or fence to mount the brackets. Ideally, this section for your garden will receive enough sunlight (but not too much!) to promote plant growth. 

The drip systems we provide will help keep your plants and vegetables moist and let nature do the rest!

Steps to Install Your Vertical Hanging Garden

We are going to take you through the steps to successfully install your %LINK% vertical hanging garden from Flower Street Urban Gardens. 

You can read along here in our directions. We also recommend that you follow along in the video clip below for visual clues you might need. If you’ve already purchased a vertical hanging garden from us, the parts that you have received will include: 

• the mounting brackets 

• the number of wooden tiers

• BPA-free food-grade liners 

• end caps 

• All the hardware, including screws and bit for end caps, Drip irrigation kit, and stakes

The only tool you’ll need to set up a hanging garden is a tape measure and a drill driver. 

The brackets must be anchored to something structural such as block or brick; with the anchors provided, you will need a 5/16 masonry drill bit. If your garden is installed on a wood frame structure, it may be necessary to install 2 or more ledger boards. Now let’s get started on installing your vertical hanging garden. 

 

Step 1- Measuring Out the Brackets

First, find the center of the wall where you’re going to mount the brackets. The center is where you place the first bracket. Now, if you’re installing a 6-ft. unit, then measure 28 inches from that center bracket on each side to hang the other two brackets. If you’re installing a 5-ft. unit, then measure 24 inches from the center bracket. If you have a 4ft garden, there will only be 2 brackets spaced 32” apart. 

For a bolt-on unit, you will do the same measuring as above using the level to ensure all the brackets are level and each bracket is vertical. This also ensures that it is fastened into something structural that will accommodate the weight.

Step 2 – Sliding in the Boards

The first board to be installed is the one with the drainage diverter; slide those boards inside the brackets. These boards stand upright and will allow the garden to drain. 

Take your tape measure and measure the overhang on each side and make sure the sides are even with the 2 outside brackets. 

Step 3 – Placing the Narrow Boards

Next, place the narrow boards in, with the notched side down. There will be one for each tier. These will rest on an angle on the face side of the tier. Stack two wide boards on top of the narrow board. Repeat this step for the remaining tiers. 

Step 4 – Insert the Remaining Boards

At this stage, the only boards that remain will equal the number of tiers you purchased for your kit. If you purchased the 4-tier unit, you would have four boards left. If you purchased the 3-tier unit, you would have three boards left. These will go on the top of the bottom backboards with the drainage sheets. 

Step 5 – Wedge in the End Caps

The next step is to wedge in the end caps. To do this, you will pull up on the face boards while firmly pushing down on the end caps. Now you will install the screw provided. One screw per board, taking caution to screw it into the plywood portion of the end cap.

Step 6 – Install the Liners

There are a front and backside to the liner. The longest side goes to the front. It is easier to slide the liner into the tier without opening it. Open liner to the back. (hot tip) use the plastic stakes from your irrigation kit and clip on to the round bar directly above the liner. Making sure to wedge the liner in between the stake and the backboard.

Fill the liner approximately half full of potting soil and adjust the liner again side to side and front to back. Proceed to fill with potting soil.
