7 stylish balconies and create a peaceful space



A ground-level yard is not required for growing and gathering. A balcony or roof provides essential outdoor space for planting herbs, shrubs, flowers, trees, and even a small vegetable garden if you wish. As long as you have some containers, topsoil, and seeds, you can turn your balcony or rooftop patio into a private garden sanctuary. Glazing it up with decor also adds to the ambiance. While not having one side may seem limited, look at it as an opportunity to get a little more creative. Use these ideas as inspiration and growth.

1 sky-high rooftop garden


A rooftop patio provides an in-house relaxing space. Add some small trees for shade, privacy, and an outdoor feel. Using pea gravel instead of the hard ground provides a smoother surface and better drainage. Built-in brick planters create a textural element that contrasts poured concrete walls. Choose sturdy outdoor furniture for your patio garden so that it can withstand high winds and other harsh weather conditions. A soft ground cover protects the area around the container-planted trees.


2 Intimate Balcony Garden Corner


Despite their size, small balconies offer plenty of room for customization and planting. You can add color and pattern to a variety of heavy-duty, all-weather rugs. Instead of built-ins, the furniture placement focuses on the view of the forest on the balcony. Choose pieces like movable benches and ottomans for extra seating and surface area. Dwarf trees and shrubs work best for a small balcony garden, as they provide enveloping growth while softening the edges of the landscape. Place small containers on side tables to maximize gardening space, and use rails for accessories like birdhouses. To store outdoor decor in the off-season, get a coffee table that opens for storage. It's a nice place to set a mug or two.

3 Urban Utopia Roof Garden



Plenty of plants and water add natural beauty to this urban rooftop space. A raised water garden creates a sense of calm and contrast to the scene, and a raised garden bed elevates a beautiful collection of flowers. Another good option is to set up some containers for rooftop gardens: they can be planted with mobile, annual, or perennial plants, and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials that add personality. If you have the space, incorporate a fire pit—gas or wood—to foster a cozy vibe. (Make sure it's constructed of materials that meet local fire codes.)


4 veranda View Balcony Garden


The scenery of the city serves as the backdrop for this small balcony garden space. Here, the layout divides the roof into two sections—a sheltered sunroom and a dining area. Get the look yourself with artful outdoor decorations or other room accents like rugs and wall hangings. Add outdoor lights to the walls to create a warm environment (try solar if your balcony gets lots of sunlight). For a dose of greenery, plant easy-care ferns in containers and place them throughout your space—they go perfectly with exposed brick.

5 Roof with tropical screening



Less is often more, as evidenced by these minimal plants and objects. Plant selections and placements offer delightful privacy in any rooftop garden space: for example, a long container planted with tall, full bamboo shields the view here. Instead of a plain wooden wall, glass blocks allow sunlight to shine through while providing a screen. Hard-working evergreens provide outdoor decoration and year-round texture, and a variety of floral foliage can provide plenty of visual interest. Depending on your style and taste, wood floors can be dressed in a soft gray or regularly refinished to maintain a rich color.


6 Spacious and beautiful rooftop garden


 Large tree planters give life and personality to this balcony garden. The contrast of the floor – regular walkways bordered by colorful river rock – keeps it from feeling bland and boring. Planters of various sizes frame the edges of the balcony, making the space feel extra cozy. Benches placed along the railing provide a nice place to have a drink with a friend or read a good book. A trellis above the dining area separates it from the rest of the roof. Use a variety of plant types—dwarf trees, shrubs, some perennials, and annuals—to move the eye around the garden.

7 Roof garden with a beautiful pergola


The way you decide to design your layout allows you to enjoy your balcony garden view from multiple locations. A subtle change in floor quality separates the relaxing and gathering spaces from your dining space. For shade and protection, add a pergola to cover your sitting area. Twisting vines add more color to the trellised sides, and a collection of rocks and boulders adds visual interest. Installing electrical wiring on your balcony or roof should be part of any design plan; Here the outlets are hidden on the deck step-up

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
