Make the Most of a Small Balcony Garden
Balconies in Malta rarely come with much floor space, but there is almost always a wall going spare. With the right shelving and a few well-chosen pots, even a narrow ledge can become a proper green corner.
Grow upwards instead of outwards
When floor space is tight, as it so often is on Maltese balconies, the answer is to look up rather than out. A sturdy unit such as the HYLLIS shelving unit turns a blank wall into tiered growing space, letting you line up pots of herbs, flowers and trailing plants without eating into the area you need for a chair or a washing line.
Fill the shelves with the MUSKOTBLOMMA plant pot with saucer, which comes in a faded terracotta finish and several sizes, giving the whole arrangement a relaxed, sun-worn garden look. Mix in the BOYSENBÄR plant pot for variety, and keep a FLÅDIS basket nearby for gardening bits and pieces, cuttings or odd tools you want within easy reach.
