How to Make a Vertical Garden Wall

INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut tongue and groove boards to desired length.
- Apply wood glue in the groove of the wood board and attach two boards together by inserting the tongue of one board into the groove of the other board.
- Repeat step #2 until you achieve the desired height.
- Cut 1″x2″ boards slightly shorter than the height of the glued boards above.
- Attach the 1″x2″ boards vertically by placing construction adhesive on them. Then, use screws to attach. (This is for extra strength) Tip: Pre-drill holes that screws will be inserted into. This will prevent the wood from splitting.
- Attach D-rings (these are rings on the back side of the project so it can easily be hung on a vertical surface). (pre-drill these holes too)
- Prime wood
- Paint wood
- Attach wall mount flower pot ring holders with screws
