Greening your balcony

Even a small balcony can be greened up with various potted plants. Climbing plants, for example, can provide shade in combination with a pergola on a balcony. This is nice during hot days. By covering your walls or balcony railings with grapevines, honeysuckle, or ivy, you also create a green environment for animals. Greenery can also be stacked. For example, by hanging pots on a pallet or rack. There are many different types of containers that you can attach to balcony railings. Mini vegetables are also available, allowing you to even 'grow your own' on your balcony. With a worm bin, you can even process your own compost.
