Tips for a balcony garden

Even if you live in a block of flats and don't have the garden you've always dreamed of, the balcony can be used as a miniature flower garden.

1. Plan in advance how you want to arrange your balcony. Think about where you will place the pots and what types of plants you will choose.
2. Go for the varieties of flowers that relate to the amount of light received by your balcony.
3. Think about how you will water the flowers and where the excess water will drain, so that you don't have problems later with possible floods in the balcony.
4. You can also choose a small tree for your mini-garden. It can add volume, but it must not be very heavy, in order not to violate the rules and safety measures of the block.
5. Add support plants to the vegetable garden or use the walls for climbing plants.
6. If you have a larger space on the balcony, you can think about decorations to increase privacy. Plants with many leaves, which create volume, are the most suitable in this sense.
7. Add accessories that can contribute to the atmosphere of a real garden, especially if you want to place outdoor furniture on the balcony. Pebbles, parasols, lighting items or other figurines are just a few ideas you can choose from.
