balcony gardens

High-rise horticulture spaces

Balcony gardens are small cultivated growing spaces on apartment or condominium balconies, typically using containers, planters, and vertical arrangements to maximize limited space.

The practice appeals to urban dwellers without access to yards: She grows tomatoes and herbs in her balcony garden.

The term covers everything from a few potted plants to elaborate multi-tiered setups.
