A Garden in your Apartment? | Sexton Companies Apartment Homes - Indianapolis, IN
When you sign a lease for your new apartment, you don’t have to give up your green thumb. As long as you have a balcony or substantial sunlight peeking into your apartment, you have the potential to grow a modest but beautiful garden.
- Potted Plants
Flowers and plants can grow in almost any space, from a sweeping backyard landscape to a single pot. By buying some soil and ceramic, terra cotta, or plastic potters from your local nursery, you can create a wonderful growing environment for snapdragons, cosmos, spiderflowers, or other annuals. For more information on flowers and plants that thrive in Indiana weather, contact a local nursery expert.
- Vertical Gardening
When you’re trying to grow plants in an apartment, you have to get a little creative. Instead of taking up precious floor space, why not go vertical with hanging baskets and trellises? Green beans and sweet peas can easily climb up a well-placed trellis, giving your apartment a beautiful appearance and possibly even yielding vegetables. Also, tomatoes, strawberries, and numerous flowers can make themselves right at home in a hanging basket.
- Container Plants
If you’d like a more traditional garden, you might install a small container or flower box for your balcony. If your container is deep enough, you could plant virtually anything: squash, cucumber, herbs, peppers, and more. Outfitting your balcony with a container is a great way to grow a wide variety of fine vegetables that will add freshness to countless meals.
