A guide to helping the balcony garden be only a few square meters and make passersby look back
You cannot deny that owning a flower garden of your own always makes our mood relaxed and pleasant. We will have a place to let go of daydreaming, an ideal place to sit and read a book. The garden is also a place that makes us feel close to nature. Therefore, having a private garden is the dream of many people.
However, what you often face is that there is no space. Owning a garden is not easy when you are living in the city. But everything has a solution and the best way today is to take advantage of the balcony area to turn it into a garden of its own. The following shares will tell you a few more good experiences in the process of creating a garden outside that balcony.
1. Space division
The first thing when designing a garden is to determine the size and general layout of the balcony. Then divide the balcony into a resting area and a place to plant trees from the beginning.
In case your balcony area is especially small, you can try placing green plants and flower pots on the railing and wall shelves to save the rest of the space as a place to rest.
2. Drainage system
When using the balcony as a garden, you need to pay attention to the drainage problem because if you do not pay attention, it is easy to cause leakage during use. If you have an open-air balcony, you also need to pay attention to the ability to drain water in rainy days.
3. Load capacity
Normally, we will not put too heavy items outside on the balcony. Only a few potted plants are completely within the load capacity of the balcony. However, if you want to design more miniatures with heavy stone, you need to consider more carefully about the load capacity of the balcony.
4. Tree selection
To choose the right plants outside the balcony, you should determine the weather type and light source first to find the right plants. It is best to choose some green plants with long flowering cycles, bright colors, good vitality, and easy care.
During the care process, you also need to regularly prune branches, fertilize and change the soil to ensure that the flowers grow well in the pot.
5. Color matching
It is not enough to take care of plants in a well-developed garden, the factor that determines the attraction of a balcony garden is the right color scheme. From the choice of wall color, fence to the arrangement of flowers next to each other will determine the aesthetics of the garden.
The experience of perennial planters is that you should arrange the pots of green plants and flowers to see the garden is not empty. White, pink, yellow, purple flower colors often create a very soothing feeling, suitable for balcony gardens.
Like this garden, its owner has chosen to take care of plants such as bougainvillea, hydrangea, chrysanthemum, and borage to adorn his garden.
6. Light system
Do not forget to design the lighting system outside the balcony so that the garden is always attractive regardless of day or night. The cost-effective and environmentally friendly solar lights are always the top suggestion for outdoor balcony gardens.
Hopefully, the sharing of experience gained in the process of designing a balcony garden above will help you get a small garden of your own as soon as possible.
