How to create a balcony garden
Want to create a garden, herb garden or vegie garden on your balcony? Follow our steps to choose the best plants for your balcony and add some greenery to your home.
Add a vertical garden
Take a look at our range of vertical gardens and you'll see just how easy it is to create one for yourself. All you need is some free space, the interlocking frames click together easily, making a fantastic wall of living colour and a great addition to your balcony garden.
The best plants for your vertical garden
Vertical gardens are made up of individual pots, so it's really up to you what type of plants you choose. Herbs work great, as do potted annuals, if your balcony gets a lot of shade, ferns could work here too. Visit the nursery at your local Bunnings if you'd like some advice on which plants will work best on your balcony.
Create your own oasis with pots and plants
Another way to turn your balcony into a welcoming space is with potted plants of various sizes, colours and styles, providing your balcony has somewhere for the water to drain. Another added benefit of potting your plants is that you can take them with you wherever you go.
Take a seat
Last but not least, add some outdoor furniture to complete your look. A comfy chair and a small table can help create the ideal urban balcony garden.
