Balcony (阳台) gardens can be quite valuable for those living in urban areas with little outside space. They might not be big, but when they are carefully designed, balcony gardens can be truly magical space, bringing nature to the heart of a city. 1．.

Consider the balcony’s aspect

The aspect of a balcony—which direction it faces—will determine how much sun it receives. . In the northern hemisphere (北半球), a south-facing balcony gets plenty of sun but can dry out quickly in the heat of summer. An east-facing balcony will get morning light only, while a west-facing one will get sun during the afternoon. 2．.

Make full use of space

3．. And in small space, it is especially important to make sure with our designs that we are making the most of every inch of space. Vertical (垂直的) gardening techniques can be important to unlock the potential of any balcony garden. Vertical gardens can employ planting pockets, shelving, towers, and hanging containers for climbers.

Container gardening is likely to be the main method of growing in a balcony garden. But to really make a balcony garden the best it can be, you should use your imagination and think outside the box to make containers. Many different recycled items and materials might be used as you create your balcony garden.

Think about weight

As you decide on methods, containers, and other items for your balcony garden, one important consideration is how much all the elements will weigh. 5．. You should consider what you intend to put. Remember that water will add extra weight as well.
