Abstract: A garden structure is disclosed for producing a vertically oriented garden. The garden structure comprises a preferably molded, unitary elongated enclosure for holding a growing medium. The enclosure has a central hollow body member of a uniform cross-sectional area and peripheral shape, and bottom and top end portions at opposite ends of the enclosure. Each end portion has a peripheral shape substantially the same as the body member, and is of a reduced cross-sectional area to form bottom and top shoulders at the junction of the end portions and body member. The top portion containing the top shoulder is severed from the body member, reversed and mounted on the severed end with the top shoulder in engagement therewith to form a tray cover.

Abstract: An improved garden device for producing a vertically oriented garden. The garden device comprises a flexible sheet of plastic or the like having plant perforations or openings extending therethrough. The sheet when vertically arranged forms a vertically extending first endless wall enclosure of varying cross section for receiving a quantity of growing medium such as soil. A cover slip is releasably attached to each perforation for covering the perforation to prevent the escape of soil and moisture from the enclosure. The cover slip is detachable from the perforation to allow the embedding in the soil of a seed or plant for growth through the perforation. A second endless wall enclosure similar to the first enclosure is mountable in vertical registry with the first enclosure and secured thereto by strip weaving or by a plurality of connecting slips. A watering member is placed in the soil adjacent the upper end of the uppermost enclosure for watering the soil.

Abstract: The garden comprises turkey fencing rolled into a cylindrical cage, placed upright on a corrugated surface, and lined with a vaporproof paper sleeve. The sleeve is filled with moist soil in which a perforated soaker is embedded and connected by a tube to the exterior of the liner. In a second form, a rigid support is enclosed in a large plastic bag containing soil. The support has a large circular base covered by the soil and a reduced-diameter mast extending upwardly through the center of the soil and out of the top of the bag. A soaker of the type noted above is buried in the soil, and the upper end of the bag is tied closed around the outside of the mast. The base of each support has an axial bore into which the upper end of the mast of another support can be inserted to stack this form of garden one upon the other. In use, small holes are cut in the liner or bag, and seeds or plants are planted in the exposed soil so that their sprouts can grow out of the holes.
