Transform your Balcony into a mini Garden

Since last few years I have developed huge interest in gardening.Since childhood I used to see my maternal uncle develop huge space available in his bunglow plot into lush green garden with all possible kinds of flowering and foilage plants.

Always had a dream of having a beautiful garden,but space was a huge problem since I had only a small balcony.Still I had few plants planted there and created a small green corner.

Now  that I have moved to a bigger house with much bigger balcony,I grabbed the opportunity and started work on developing an ultimate balcony garden with lawn.

My basic idea was to convert the balcony(an L shaped balcony)into a perfect mini garden with all things one can imagine in a balcony garden like

1..A Small swing

2..Sitting bench

3..Small lawn(preferably artifical)who wants to mess with natural lawn and it's maintenance....😜

4..Wind chimes.

5..Decorative lamps

6..Small fountain.

I wanted all the above things in my balcony with the condition that it should not look messed up or overcrowded.😀

A few snaps showing the initial look of my balcony.Not impressed though.😏

 

I have simply placed the artifical lawn on existing tiles(without sticking,so I can change it's position  for a new look if required without much hassle).Thick granite strips equal to the thickness of lawn placed from all sides to hold the lawn in place and to cover the visible rough edges of the lawn.

I will now directly give u glimse of my balcony after the final makeover.Did couple of changes in the arrangment.Luckily this time all things fell into place and the arrangements look stunning.

As u can see above there are  so many  pots in such a small balcony.This was possible because of box grill fitted to balcony rallings from inside rather than from outside,as it gives easy access to plants.It had an added advantage.I could place double the number of pots ,few in stands and same number of pots below it.Smart space utilization.😎

I also covered the front portion of the box grill by green net.Not only did this hide the grill but also gave a feeling of more greenery.Also this net made the planters almost invisible with only the plants visible.

The pebbles and the toy tractor were lying unused.Now they have found perfect place in my garden and look beautiful.These small thinks add extra beauty.

The sitting bench was a huge obstacle while moving within the garden.

So Later converted lawn into an L shape with bench sitting in the corner perfectly.👇

Finally the tiny fountain found the perfect place in the corner.👇

So guys.what do u think of this makeover.Do reply or share ur views.

Hope u all get ideas from this and start work on ur balcony makeover.

Happy gardening!!!
