Can't Have a Real Garden in Your Apartment? Try Balcony Planters!

Gardens are an adornment to home spaces, making them more appealing and fascinating. They exude a sense of completeness to homes. The bright flowers and the dangling climbers make an average-looking home look pleasing too. However city dwellers do not have the luxury to invest in a garden, not because they cannot afford it, but because they lack space for it. Defined as an extension to the room space bounded by a railing or a parapet, the balcony, can undeniably be used to serve as a substitute for a garden.


Wondering how that can be made possible? Consider the following tips:
  • Balcony spaces are limited and confined therefore they need to be managed efficiently and effectively. Firstly, try to opt for such balcony door designs that will not obstruct their space like sliding doors, instead of casement or French doors. You can have the complete space that is available to work out your garden.

  • Resort to the space saver planters that can be fixed on the balcony railings or the rectangular planters across the length of the space. Modular planting systems like the Pflix can also be incorporated. They help accommodate more planters within limited space with style. You could also get creative with designing your own planters for the personal touch!

  • Planting climbers give an enchanted look to the balcony with stems and flowers twined across the railings of the balcony. However they require routine trims and grooming to avoid them from turning too dense.
So who says that gardens cannot be a part of an apartment? It just demands some time out of your busy schedule to think it over. Once executed, you can make your balcony look more inviting than a bigger garden, quite to the envy of your neighbors!
