Do you live in the city and miss greenery?

Don’t worry! With the right choices, even the smallest balcony can transform into a green oasis full of life, aroma, and color.

Ideal for city dwellers

If you live in an apartment without a yard, there are solutions that make use of vertical, corner, or hanging spaces.

How to Design a Small Urban Garden

1. Use the height – vertical gardens
   Walls, railings, and corners can host:

• Hanging pots

• Vertical planters made from pallets or shelves

• Pots hanging from railings

2. Don’t waste unused corners
   Small planters or shelves with aromatic herbs can fit even in the tightest spots.

3. Choose plants that thrive in pots
   Don’t try to grow an olive tree in a 20 cm pot. Select plants adapted to small soil volumes.

What to Plant in Small Spaces?

Aromatic & Medicinal

Perfect for cooking, beautiful, and low-maintenance:

• Oregano

• Rosemary

• Thyme

• Lavender

• Mint (keep in a separate pot as it spreads)

Decorative for Color & Fragrance

• Petunias

• Geraniums

• Lemon verbena

• Jasmine (with support)

Small Vegetables

• Cherry tomatoes

Climbers for railings & walls

Tips for Small Green Spaces

• Use lightweight pots and materials (e.g., fabric or recycled planters).

• Choose a light but nutrient-rich substrate.

• Install automatic watering (drip or wick system).

• Select hardy plants for sunny or weather-exposed areas.

You don’t need a yard to have a garden
