If our house does not have a garden, you will miss a natural environment, a garden where you can relax, so we will see how to turn your balcony into a garden and thus enjoy it every day.
If we have a balcony, a terrace, or a patio, then we have the opportunity to condition that space and turn it into a pleasant stay.
But, how can we carry out this task in a limited space and without land?
Next, we will see how to take advantage of your balcony and make the most of it to make it the best corner of the house.
How to Transform Your Balcony into a Garden
Almost all the gardens have a lawned area that transmits freshness and invites relaxation. The question seems nearly impossible to do if we are projecting it on a concrete floor.
Fortunately, today there is outstanding quality artificial grass on the market that has little to envy natural.
Regarding the selection of plants for the garden, we will have to take into account a series of factors:
- The space: or how many m2 we have.
- The location/exposure: whether it locates in the sun, semi-shade, or shade.
- The weight: the amount of weight that a balcony can support.
- The utility: we may be interested in aromatic, edible, medicinal plants, etc., whose purpose is not only ornamental.
An Ornamental Garden
Possibly, we will have to choose plants that do not need too much substrate and that their life unfolds in pots. Therefore, we are interested in those that do not develop too much size and are not very demanding.
Some potted plants that adapt well to a balcony, terrace, or patio are: Marigolds, Carnations, Gazanias, Geraniums, Pansies, Roses, Surfinias, Tagetes, etc.
Aromatic Plants in the Balcony
While some beautify and perfume a place, other plants adorn and can also be very useful in the kitchen and our well-being: aromatic ones.
Aromatic plants generally require a sunny exposure, although some settle better in a shady, calm, and humid corner.
Aromatic with Sun Exposure
Some of the aromatic plants that develop best in a sunny exposure and that, at the same time, do not need too much space are: Basil, Saffron, Chives, Coriander, Lemongrass, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Arugula, Rue, Sage, Thyme, etc.
Aromatic Semi or Semi-Shade Plants
However, other plants grow well in an excellent, shady location. Among them, we have Peppermint, Melissa, Mint, Nettle, etc.
Larger Plants
In larger pots, you can put shrubs such as dwarf pomegranates, gardenias that will perfume the entire garden, pines, palms, and rose bushes.
Climbing Plants
Other plants that will bring a lot of freshness are climbing plants.
To the question of How to turn your balcony into a garden? A climbing plant can be the answer since it is the easiest and fastest solution.
With them, you can transform a brick wall into a beautiful green blanket that will give the feeling of being immersed in a natural garden.
And if we also select varieties such as jasmine, bougainvillea, passionflower, etc. We will be able to delight ourselves with the aroma and beauty of its flowers.
And Why not a Farm?
In addition to aromatic plants, vegetables can also be grown on growing tables or drawers.
This type of furniture, generally made of wood, has a waterproof fabric inside on which the substrate is laid.
With these drawers, you can organize the space on your terrace or patio in such a way that you can enjoy it and, at the same time, grow your vegetables.
Another alternative to having a garden on the balcony is to take advantage of your pots and replace the ornamental plants with tomatoes, peppers, parsley, etc.
Garden Furniture
Finally, we are interested in enjoying this garden and transforming it into a space for relaxation and emotional well-being.
For that purpose, we will organize that space and turn it into a cozy environment using only a few pieces of furniture.
