At Canada Blooms earlier this year, I got a glimpse of some interesting vertical gardening techniques. Living walls and stacked containers demonstrated you can still garden even though one might not have a large area to work with.
Lee Valley's Stacking Pots |
Lee Valley has these wonderful stacked containers which I think are ideal for herbs.

Or how about this Wall Garden method:

Plant stands are also ideal. I've refurbished a stacked arrangement of sorts from reused items. I found this old plant stand at the end of someones curb, put out for garbage. I took it home, sanded the worst of rust away and spray painted it with rust-proof Tremclad. Functional waste diversion ;) Now it holds some of my herbs.

I added more obelisks to my containers and trellises to my garden, in order to achieve more height.
There's a lot of creative ways to maximize space.
Nice
