ABSTRACT:
A system for growing plants against a vertical wall such as a fence, partition between apartment balconies or the like. Each support is an integrally formed member with an elongate support portion and a U-shaped hook-portion which fits freely and removably about an upper horizontal portion of the wall. The elongate support portion has a number of vertically spaced-apart openings which access a longitudinal channel formed in the surface of the elongate support portion which rests against the wall. A number of receptacles are provided to receive soil. Each receptacle has a pair of horizontally spaced-apart hooks which can be releasably secured in any one of the openings formed in the supports. The spacing between the supports is fixed solely by securing receptacle between the supports. No fasteners are required to secure the system to the wall, and the system can be readily assembled and disassembled without tools.
