If you have recently invested in a gorgeous apartment, why not use that space to add a flower wall balcony to your apartment? It is an affordable and practical way to bring nature indoors! In fact, flower gardens are not just for people living in big houses. They are also great for apartment gardening! By growing your own vegetables, flowers, herbs and flowers in your apartment, you can save money on grocery bills, while still being able to enjoy the beauty of flowers from your private balcony.

In addition to providing beauty and color, a flower wall or flower room on your balcony can be used as a practical tool for apartment gardening. Imagine what it would feel like to sit at your flower room balcony on a warm, sunny day, enjoying the sight of a full garden of flowers. You could even host a wedding or shower there! Your friends and family would love it! Imagine, then, how wonderful it would be to have fresh cut flower arrangement right outside your apartment window…

There are many apartment gardening ideas to consider when you want to grow your own vegetables, flowers, herbs and plants indoors, in your apartment! One idea is to plant a tall flower bed, perhaps with a sloping roof, on your balcony. This is an excellent place for container gardens, since the height will provide more privacy and a lower chance of the plants toppling over if they are in a crowded apartment. A tall flower bed, filled with bright, colorful flowers, can also provide a focal point for the apartment itself, with a series of blossoms leading the way.

If you are planning on using your apartment balcony for apartment gardening, you should also consider using flower boxes, hanging baskets and other containers to hold and accent the various flowers that you have chosen to grow. These containers can also help catch runoff water, so that it doesn’t end up in the trash can or pool. Flower boxes and hanging baskets can be decorated with attractive beads and ribbons and can be placed almost anywhere inside your apartment, on porches and in hallways.

Another tip for apartment gardening that might appeal to a lot of gardeners is to create “mini-gardens” or patios in your flower wall balcony. Patios are a great way to add color and character to your apartment and can easily be made more interesting by adding plants, a colorful outdoor rug or some candles. You can decorate the flower boxes, hanging baskets and vases with votive candles in various scents and colors. Try to choose candleholders that match your apartment color scheme, such as pastel colors for a spring/summer apartment, while using white, off-white or light ivory candles for an autumn feel.

Many apartment dwellers prefer to use climbing plants to grow climbing plants on their flower wall balcony. The easiest types of climbing plants to place on your flower wall are vines and shrubs. For example, if you have a grape vine in your living room, you could easily hang three small grape vines from the ladders on your flower wall, growing horizontally along the railing. Vines and shrubs are also a good choice for apartment balconies; use a few cut flowers in pots, arrange them nicely, and then place them on the flower box or hanging basket.

A flower wall balcony is not a complete flower/roof combination without some potted flowers in pots on each level. Potted plants provide color and interest to any apartment, and they can be easily moved from one location to another if you feel the need to. For added flower wall decoration, consider using large flower pots or containers on each level, rather than just a few smaller ones on the ground. You could mix potted plants with flowering shrubs or trees, or you could have an empty flowerpot on each level. Your flower wall will be beautiful whether or not you use all of your flower pots, but you’ll also increase the value of your apartment if you allow some flowering plantings on the wall flower balcony.

Another nice addition to your apartment or condo is a flower wall trellis. Trellises are beautiful and elegant, and they can be easily installed to create a formal entrance or gallery style that’s out of the ordinary. If you’re planning a flower wall balcony, a trellis would be a great addition because it would add height and greatly accent the flower pots. A trellis can be a piece of art or a practical addition to any apartment or condo, and you should definitely take some time looking at the different types available before you make a decision on which one to buy.
