If you’re living in an apartment or in the city, you might have a hard time getting a proper backyard for your garden. That’s why urban gardening has become quite popular. Try these urban gardening ideas for the best results.

Balcony Planters – You must have a balcony if you’re living in an apartment in the city. Well, that’s the best place to add a few planters and choose the best plants with beautiful colors to make it beautiful.

Even better, you can make it a beautiful spot to relax and get away from the busy city life. You can add some lounge chairs amongst the plants and make it a peaceful spot.

Potted Plants For Privacy – If your balcony is facing the street, you might not have enough privacy. Well, you can always add some potted plants, especially climbers that will create the privacy you need. Your apartment will be completely shielded from prying eyes.

Creative Landscaping – If you have a tiny backyard, you can transform it using built-in beds for your plants. You can also salvage some bluestone pavers to create the best natural experience.

You can be more creative by reclaiming old barn doors and create an exceptional focal point to the entire space. Try out a green screen as well to create more privacy.

Herb Garden – You can transform your balcony into an open-air herb garden. Even better, you can mix and match the herbs to create the best look.

If you have a large balcony, you can add some chairs and make it a good place to entertain guests using your herbs to create sumptuous meals.

Micro-gardens – It’s tough enough to find a large garden to plant anything you want, especially if you’re not living in the suburbs. That’s where micro-gardens often come in handy.

You can transform any tiny or bare yard into a magnificent relaxing spot by adding a canopy of plants. You should add plants that cool the area.

Of course, you need to do a little research to find the best plants for your area to make sure the greenery and flowers don’t wither or die during your first trial.

Green Screens – It doesn’t matter whether you’re living in a small apartment or a house in the city with a small backyard. You need a green screen to create some privacy.

The best green screen should be of climbing plants that fill in the area to create a perfect green wall. There are many options of climbing plants to choose from so choose the one that works with your climate.

Potting Tables – If you’re a city gardener, you need to consider potting tables and salvaged wood walls to cater to your hobby. You can create a posh space for outdoor dining by adding candelabras among the potting tables and with plants like climbing vines for the best results.

Flower Deck – You can add a few flowers to your deck and make it a transitional and cozy place to spend your lazy afternoons and weekends in the city. If possible, choose flowers in different colors to create an amazing look.
