3 Beautiful Garden Ideas For Any Sized Balcony
By JENNIFER PASSMORE
Balconies offer stunning views and a small space for you to unwind at the end of the day. Here are three ways to spice up your balcony and create an easy, lovely garden you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Pots Or Planters
Freestanding pots or planters add color to your balcony while making flowering plants easy, and you can get creative with different shaped containers that reflect your personality. Recycle some you already have, or check out your local garden center.
Try A Vertical Garden
With a such small space, consider growing your plants vertically with a trellis. Jasmine, clematis, sweet pea, and hydrangea flowers are easy to grow vertically, and if you’re up to the challenge of maintaining ivy, it can be a beautiful addition.
Growing Vegetables
You can grow a variety of different vegetables in pots, including potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, peppers, beets, and even pole and bush beans. Herbs are also a great addition to your garden, and you only need a few plants, seeds, soil, and containers.
