How To Start a Beautiful and Eco-Friendly Balcony Garden

How To Start a Beautiful and Eco-Friendly Balcony Garden

Balconies are great. When living in a big city, it can be hard to capture some of that outdoors vibe that come with regular houses. There is no backyard you can have your dog run around in and there is very minimal greenery amongst all the concrete. However, even the smallest of balconies can help you have that full outdoors experience. Now after a long day of work, you can sit down and relax on your balcony, get some fresh air and enjoy all the benefits of the outdoors. One way to further enhance your balcony is by adding a balcony garden.

Benefits to Having a Balcony Garden

Grow your own food

Plants that can grow up things such as the tomato plant above can be useful for a balcony with limited space

As is the case with most things, food prices are going up. Shipping struggles and backlogged warehouses mean it is very difficult for stores and markets to be fully stocked with goods. Instead of going to the grocery market and either being turned away due to the price or the lack of availability, why not grow your own food on your balcony? If you have a balcony with a good amount of sunlight throughout the day, this may be for you. Grow any fruit or vegetable from tomatoes and carrots to basil and mint. As you can see in the picture above, vertical farming can be useful in spaces with limited room. Instead of compromising the horizontal space for you to enjoy your balcony comfortably, you can utilize the vertical space to have the best of both worlds. Check out this blog on vertical farming to get a better understanding on this new farming method.

As mentioned previously in this article, if you have a balcony in your residence, you likely don’t have much nature around you. Utilize this little piece of the outside that you do have to its fullest potential. You can add anything from small planters to bigger pots with trees and larger plants. If you want to keep your balcony as eco-friendly as possible, we suggest checking out the Top 10 Eco-friendly planters blog to find the best planter for you that also doesn’t harm the planet in the long term.

This Valentine’s Day, consider giving a houseplant instead of the usual roses or chocolates for a gift that keeps on giving. Houseplants, with their lasting beauty and symbolic meaning, offer the perfect way to show love that grows over time—just like your relationship. Not only do they brighten up any space, but they also purify the air, provide a sense of calm, and can thrive for years, making them a thoughtful and sustainable gift option.

In 2025, rare houseplants have become luxury status symbols, with collectors spending thousands on unique species like the Variegated Monstera Albo ($3,000+), Philodendron Spiritus Sancti ($10,000+), and the Shenzhen Nongke Orchid ($20,000+). Their high value stems from rarity, slow growth, and distinctive variegation.

Caring for a Monstera is surprisingly easy, making it a favorite among plant enthusiasts worldwide. Known for its iconic, fenestrated leaves and tropical charm, the Monstera adds an effortless touch of greenery to any space. Its low-maintenance nature and adaptability to various indoor conditions have earned it a reputation as one of the best plants for beginners and seasoned plant parents alike.
