Ask your QuestionI don’t need grass or anything but I’d like to make it more homely rather than just concrete. How can I make the space look nice?
Asked by Jenny on 9th Apr 2020"All depends on the size of the space. A lot of planter boxes and/or pots could be used for shrubs, flowers, vegetables, etc. Lots of ideas are available on Pinterest or Youtube."

Before you buy anything, take the time to learn how many hours of sun per day your balcony receives. Pay attention to indirect light as well — that is, no trees or walls blocking large portions of the sky. Even a north-facing balcony can be a happy home for many plants if there is enough indirect light. For full sun, plant: Grasses, succulents (like echeveria), morning glory vines, strawberries, lettuce, lavender, oregano, sage, mint and basil. For lots of shade, plant: Coleus, English ivy, most types of ferns, fuschia, peace lilies and begonias.
2. Check your planters.
Make sure the containers you plan to use are compatible with the growth habits of your plants. Make sure they have adequate drainage as well."
"Hello, personally I would have wall mounted hanging tray/baskets and look into tray/baskets that hook onto the balcony on the outside a couple of trellises and using climbers (honeysuckle, clematis, ivys) try to cover concrete and saving as much floor space as possible for some nice furniture and a couple of potted plants. Could even cover the walls in cladding.
Hope this helps, kind regards,
Jason."
"You could measure your balcony for square meterage and buy artificial grass to put down and then have planting boxes or pots for your flowers."
