The Concept:
A DIY Vertical Herb Garden made from recycled plastic bottles – perfect for balconies, small patios, or even a sunny window wall. It’s low-cost, sustainable, and beautifully functional.
What You’ll Need:
3–5 used plastic bottles (1L or 2L size works best)
Sharp scissors or box cutter
Small gravel + potting mix
String or jute twine
Herbs: Basil , Mint , Coriander , Thyme
Nails/hooks or a hanging rod
How To Make It:
Cut an opening on one side of each bottle (leave ⅓ of the bottle for support).
Poke holes in the bottom for drainage.
Add a layer of gravel, then potting soil.
Plant herb seedlings or seeds.
Use twine to hang the bottles vertically from a rod or fix them to a wall.
Water regularly – ensure drainage works!
Tips:
Use color-coded labels for herbs.
Paint the bottles for a rustic or modern touch.
Great for teaching kids about sustainability + gardening.
