Portable garden and method of producing same

A garden device for producing a vertical garden comprising:

• a flat base member having laterally spaced apart projections vertically extending from its upper surface;
• a flat screen mountable on said projections in parallel relation to said base member;
• a meshed material adapted to be rolled into a tubular cage having upper and lower open ends, said cage being mounted on said base member and screen with said lower cage end resting on said screen;
• and
• a flexible vapor proof material rolled into the form of a sleeve having upper and lower open ends and inserted into said cage with said lower sleeve end supported by said screen and said upper sleeve end in position for receiving a quantity of soil forcing said sleeve into engagement with said cage whereby openings may be made in said sleeve through said cage for exposing the soil into which plant seeds or plants may be embedded for growth through said cage.

A method of producing a vertical garden device comprising:

• providing a flat support member having laterally extending projections on its upper surface;
• placing a flat screen on said projections in parallel relation to said support member;
• rolling a rectangular section of meshed material into a tubular shape and securing the ends thereof to form a tubular cage having upper and lower open ends;
• vertically mounting said cage on said support with said lower cage end resting on said screen;
• rolling a sheet of vapor-proof material into a sleeve having upper and lower open ends and a diameter slightly less than the diameter of said cage;
• inserting said sleeve into said cage with its lower end resting on said screen;
• filling said sleeve with soil through its upper open end;
• cutting openings in said sleeve through said cage to expose the soil;
• and
• embedding plant seeds or plants in the exposed soil for growth through said cage.
