Make every bit of vertical space in your garden work hard with the RHS Vegetables for a Vertical Garden Seed Collection by Mr Fothergill’s. Specially selected by RHS experts, this clever mix of compact vegetables and herbs is perfect for balconies, patios, courtyards and small gardens where ground space is limited but appetite is not.
Each variety in this collection has been chosen for its naturally compact habit or tumbling growth, which makes it ideal for containers, wall planters, tiered stands and hanging baskets. Instead of spreading out across beds, your crops grow upwards, giving you more harvest from a smaller footprint. Raised planters and vertical pockets also make harvesting easier, since fruits, leaves and herbs are produced at a more comfortable height.
From crisp cucumbers and colourful loose leaf lettuce to fragrant herbs, fiery chillies and sweet cherry tomatoes, this collection offers everything you need for a productive vertical kitchen garden. Every seed packet carries clear growing instructions, and generous seed counts mean you can sow in stages for a longer harvest season.
Part of the trusted seed range produced by Mr Fothergill’s in partnership with the RHS, this set combines expert selection with reliable germination and quality. Whether you are a new gardener with your first balcony or an experienced grower looking to make the most of every corner, it is an easy way to create a modern, eye catching and useful vertical display.

It turns unused walls, fences and balcony rails into a vibrant, productive food garden and it does it with tried and tested varieties that really earn their keep. We love that every packet is chosen by RHS experts, yet the collection still feels fun and approachable, with colourful chillies, tumbling tomatoes and fragrant herbs that invite you to pick and cook straight away. If you want to grow more food without needing more ground, this is one of the easiest ways to get started.
