In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a vertically oriented plant growth system (2) that includes a plurality of tower arrays (100, 200, 300, 400), each tower array having a plurality of towers (1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400). Each tower is vertically mounted and includes a plurality of hub structures (1010-1080, 1110-1180, 1210-1280, 1310-1380, 1410-1480) thereon for growing crops. The individual hub structures include attached bottles (1012A-F, 1022A-F, 1032A-F, 1042A-F, 1052A-F, 1062A-F, 1072A-F, 1082A-F) that are sized to support soil sufficient for plant growth and prevent the escape of water. Through the supply of pressurized water to flow control devices above each tower of the tower arrays, soil in each bottle is irrigated with water received at a controlled flow rate to grow crops using minimal space and without reliance on particular soil conditions.
