Dry wall Garden

• Dry wall garden refers to the gardens planted with different plants laid on a wall or walls.
• Plants growing in the crevices of the stones and hanging down the face of a dry wall look beautiful and are becoming a common feature of the English gardens.
• In India, a dry wall is not very common in garden, sometime due to scarcity of space, although this is a very interesting feature of a landscape garden.
• If space permits, it may be possible to convert a portion of the concrete wall or garage wall into dry wall.
• The dry walls are generally retention walls, with only one surface available for gardening or planting while the
• other side is supported against the vertical or near vertical face of two different levels of landscape.
• A dry wall can also be constructed as a column.
