How do I build a garden on a wall?

I have a huge wall in the backyard, and we're watching to create a garden. Some of the family have done traditional gardens, but they had soil next to the wall. Our wall is all concrete.

Search "pot klips" on Amazon. I use them to hang pots just about anywhere!
Eduardo,
If you are talking veggie garden, look getting some elevated boxes. That way you can garden standing up to tend it, weed it and harvest the goodies! Or you can put them ground level.
Here is a link for gardening planters. They may seem expensive, but I would think longer lasting than wooden ones.

You can also grow peppers, tomatoes, herbs, in large pots...and probably other veggies such as cabbage, spinach, turnips, etc. Keep in mind that dirt and drainage from pots can stain the concrete, so make sure you place saucers under them...and empty out the water so as to avoid misquotes.
Have you thought of having a section of the concrete taken out, leaving a pathway all around that area for walking around, and use that for a garden? If you decide later you do not want to garden, you can always use it for a green space.
