An Inexpensive Balcony Garden
Another innovative garden display at the LA Garden Show this past week was a Balcony Garden by Paul Borden Landscape Design.
It was a very compact edible garden made from old shipping crates and nifty “nail bins” that can be found at home centers like Home Depot. I thought it was very well done.
The individual plastic bins can be removed for replanting or shifted to new spots if things need more/less light.
The idea behind this design was to come up with something that was inexpensive to build and that would fit onto a 10′ by 5′ space. A balcony railing would only be 42″ high, so the back of this planter is just 48″ high. Not bad re-purposing…trash to treasure!
