About this collection
Balcony Garden Ideas, explained.
Plants are what make a balcony a room. These designs use railing planters, vertical gardens, herbs and salad in pots, and grasses and small trees in tall lightweight planters for privacy and shade.
Use potting mix rather than soil, fibreglass or resin planters rather than stone, and group pots so watering is one job. Save the plant palettes that suit your exposure.
What to look for as you browse
- Weight — lightweight planters and mix, no wet soil in stone pots
- Wind and privacy handled with screens and planters, not walls
- One purpose per balcony: dine, lounge or grow
