You don\u2019t need a significant plot of land\u2014or even a quarter acre\u2014to have a stunning garden. There\u2019s plenty you can do with just a few square feet of outdoor space if you have the right products or DIY skills.\n
You don\u2019t need a full backyard to have a\u00a0rose garden. Beginners can purchase container roses to jump-start the process and then add on as they gain confidence. Choose a couple of different varieties based on the amount of light that your balcony receives each day. Generally speaking, roses do best when they get plenty of sun and are planted in well-drained soil.\n
\n
If square footage is an issue, consider using hanging planters to take advantage of your balcony\u2019s vertical space. These are excellent accessories for teeny-tiny balconies because they don\u2019t take up valuable real estate needed for a grill or patio furniture. This crocheted plant hanger from Etsy is fashionably retro and comes with a small terra-cotta pot\n
\n
Add a pop of color to your balcony with a set of brightly hued metal planters. Detachable hooks make it easy to hang the\u00a0containers\u00a0over the edge of a narrow railing, so they\u2019re perfect for the typical balcony. These planters are available in a range of bright or pastel shades as well as white, and they\u2019re made from durable metal to stand up to the elements\n
\n
Is a tiny yard and garden on your balcony possible? When creating a balcony garden design you can have both! Using AstroTurf on your balcony floor, you are able to create a yard in the city or on your apartment balcony. Colorful, yet edible kale is showcased in wooden crates. Hanging garden boxes provide additional growing space on the balcony railing in this design. With the predominantly green landscape, the pop of fuchsia color from the flower is a nice addition. Even the tiny herbs have a home in the small terra cotta pots lining the side of this balcony!\n
Modern meets comfort in this beautiful balcony garden decor. Elements of home design have been carried through to this balcony. When combining home design with the outdoors, it\u2019s important to bring home d\u00e9cor to the space. With the pillow, blanket, and serving tray this balcony garden has done just that! Aside from the wicker chair, this space doesn\u2019t feature typical outdoor furniture. A stool is used as a plant display and a rope covered ottoman keeps the home d\u00e9cor feel alive. Keeping with the theme, the rug breaks up the modern gray on this balcony adding yet another visual element of comfort.\n
\n\n
Metal planters lend a cool, industrial look to any outdoor living space. This set of three, crafted from galvanized metal, varies in size, and each planter sits on a stand, which makes gardening easier on your back. The largest pot is 10.2 inches tall (25 inches high with the stand). The smallest measures 8 inches tall (19 inches high with the stand). The trio of planters can be clustered together or placed around your balcony, depending on the available space and your preferences\n
\n
Bring a farmhouse aesthetic to a city balcony with the standout Gracie Oaks hanging planter. Two terra-cotta pots (5.5 inches in diameter) are cradled in a metal frame topped by a whimsical bird. The frame comes with a 23-inch chain, and the pots have predrilled holes for optimal drainage. This hanging planter is recommended for indoor use, so make sure it\u2019s placed in a covered area, protected from the elements.\n
\n
Rather than opting for one large planter, consider getting a trifecta of\u00a0containers\u00a0that can be easily moved and rearranged as needed. This is a great choice for beginner gardeners who might need some trial and error before figuring out the ideal placement for their herbs, flowers, or other botanicals. Terra-cotta planters are perfectly on trend and will also look great indoors during the cooler months.\n
\n
The Raised Nest Planter from West Elm can be used indoors or out and features a self-watering system. The recyclable polyethylene planter is resistant to chipping, fading, and mildew, and it rests on sturdy steel legs. It\u2019s also double walled, which helps regulate temperatures. At 36 by 18 by 36 inches, this is a great pick for slightly larger balconies. Choose from three colors: Slate, Alpine White, and Weathered Terracotta.\n
\n
Those with extra-small balconies may believe that they don\u2019t have enough space to garden, but this slim-profile three-tier box planter is the solution that proves them wrong. Perfect for ornamental flowers or a\u00a0miniature herb garden, this planter is made from weather-resistant cedar and can be purchased stained or unfinished. Installation is a breeze because the planter simply rests on the edge of a balcony\u2019s\u00a0railing.\n
\n
For larger balconies or patios, why not go all out with flowers and greenery to transform your urban oasis into a pint-size English countryside? Create a floral border with an array of planters, and feel free to mix and match for a natural, wild look. This effect can be built up over time by adding new plants and\u00a0containers\u00a0every year.\n
