If you want to add some color and a little extra dimension to your apartment or condo living space, consider planting an apartment balcony garden. It can add instant personality and make your apartment one that is interesting and different from any of the hundreds of apartment gardens scattered across most cities. This is an easy and inexpensive way to give your apartment gardening a boost without busting your budget.

When it comes to apartment gardening plans, there are many different kinds to choose from. You can use a trellis system to create a small wall garden on the side or corner of your balcony that will be enjoyed by all who enter your apartment. If you have limited space in your living room, a low-growing plant such as a succulent or flowering shrub would be just the thing for your balcony. These low-growing plants won’t take up much of your apartment’s space and are very easy to maintain. In no time at all, you will find yourself growing many colorful plants along your balcony railing.

There are also several other ways to incorporate a garden within your apartment. One popular way is to use a raised patio surrounding your apartment balcony. You can choose from various sizes of rocks (the size of those found in patios), which you can line the base of your stones with pebbles, plant your favorite flowering plants, and enjoy your garden all summer long. Another fun way to design a patio garden is to use bricks or stones that are arranged in a geometric design.

Potted plants are also very popular for apartment landscaping designs. Potted plants can be made of all sorts of materials, from beautiful ceramic containers to woven mesh. This type of container is not only attractive but versatile as well. You can move your pots around to any area of your apartment or rearrange them when the need arises. Potted plants also come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors that will look great where ever you put them.

Some apartment dwellers might opt instead to have something like a hanging birdhouse on their balcony. A birdhouse will attract many different types of birds and will provide you with hours of relaxation and enjoyment. Many birds love to sit on a birdhouse, perch, and feed. Some apartment dwellers might also enjoy having their own little home garden that they can customize with beautiful flowers and plants.

For people who enjoy spending more time outdoors, they might opt instead for a balcony garden set complete with hooks and hanging plants. This type of set will allow you to easily move plants from one place on your balcony to another. If you live in a rental apartment, it might even be possible to get the apartment manager to add some plants to your balcony garden set. This will really make it easy to mow and trim your plants and keep them looking fresh and vibrant all year long.

No matter what plants you choose, it’s important to water them regularly. Watering plants is especially important if they are being grown in very hot temperatures or in an extremely dry environment. You might also want to check with your balcony manufacturer or apartment managers to ensure that plants will not be planted too close to each other so that the plants won’t quickly become overwhelmed and take over the whole balcony.

Many balcony garden sets come with storage baskets underneath so that you can easily store your gardening tools and seeds. This is a great idea for apartment dwellers as well as homeowners. Not only is it convenient for you to access when you need to use a specific type of gardening tool, it will also help protect your garden. You don’t want your plants to die because they didn’t have enough water or they were too wet when you moved out. Your new balcony garden set will also be a great conversation piece in your apartment.
