A balcony garden in the sky

17.05.12

A RECENT visit to my friend’s apartment inspired me to consider creating a balcony garden in the sky.

If you have the luxury of a rooftop space, there are many options to transform it into a magical garden. A great example of this is the Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore. I was personally involved in creating a rooftop garden for Song Plaza.

There are many dos and don’ts to consider when creating a garden in the sky.

Apartment balconies become inviting places if you create a mini garden complete with trees, shrubs, flowers and even some herbs for the kitchen.

What direction your unit faces will determine the types of plants you can grow.

Another factor to keep in mind is how strong the wind gets on your level. You should also know the limit for the weight of the pots filled with soil that you’ll place on the balcony. Get to know the building’s policies and safety precautions before starting plans for your garden.

Sault This Week - May 18, 2011
You can also use a small amount in your watering can every time you water. * Watering baskets is very critical. They need to be checked daily and even twice a day in really hot weather. If you push up on the basket and it is still heavy, it is fine.
