     Small balcony garden                                As the name suggests, a small balcony garden is for you who have tiny space.

Use glass door so you can see the beauty of your garden from the room during the cold day. As for the arrangement, use some flowerpots on the floor and the hanging ones on top of the fence. Stay with the basic dwarf evergreens so your small balcony garden will be alive all year round.

Choosing plants shouldn’t just be about their size, shape and colour but embrace their full sensory appeal, including the most evocative of all … fragrance! Plants evolved fragrant flowers to attract pollinating insects, rewarding them with nectar and pollen they’ll discover within, but we enjoy their wonderful scents too. They have adapted to bloom at different times of the year and varying times of day to suit their insect companions, such as moths attracted to evening primrose, pinks or honeysuckle.

                                    Vegetable garden There is no comparison between the taste of a garden-fresh tomato and a grocery store-bought one that's devoid of flavour. The nature of the American food system is that grocery store produce has often been grown hundreds of miles away, meaning it can be days between harvest and your table. This process results in the quality of the product often being compromised. Though growing your own vegetables can seem overwhelming to some, it’s actually much simpler than it sounds. Even if you don’t have a yard, consider starting a patio garden or even an indoor herb garden on a windowsill. You’ll be amazed at how many tomatoes or peppers you can grow out of one pot!
