2. WHY START A
GARDEN?
Have you ever been
jealous of those with
a spacious backyard?
Living in the city
means less available
outdoor space.
Luckily, there is the
ability to have an
urban garden on
your balcony. Here's
what you need to
keep in mind.
3. How much space you have
can dictate the kinds of
plants you grow, as well as
the quantity. Do not
overestimate your space;
it is better to
underestimate and plant
more later.
HOW MUCH
SPACE DO
YOU HAVE?
4. WHAT IS YOUR
BALCONY'S
CLIMATE LIKE?
Sunlight, weather,
temperature, and
wind are all
important factors
when choosing
plants to raise.
5. ARE THERE ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL
FACTORS TO
CONSIDER?
Wild animals and
other people can
easily damage your
plants without
trying, so make sure
to place your plants
in an area where
they will be safe.
6. WHAT KINDS
OF PLANTS DO
YOU WANT TO
GROW?
You may not be
able to grow any
kind of plant, but
chances are you
will still have a
variety to choose
from, including
vegetables and
flowers.
7. HOW MUCH CARE
ARE YOU
WILLING TO GIVE
YOUR PLANT?
Some plants require daily attention,
while others are less needy. If you have
the time to really work on your garden,
you can have some flexibility with your
plants.
