The balcony and the terrace are the “heart” of many gardens. Our guide gives you tips on how to design your balcony, as well as information on topics such as privacy screens and wind protection, barbecuing on the balcony, balcony planting and structural issues. You can also learn how to plan, lay out and maintain a terrace and how to make yourself really comfortable with an awning, a roof and a Mexican oven. If you can call a terrace or balcony your own, you can only be happy about the large number of potted plants. Potted plants turn terraces and balconies into paradise.
The right decoration must also be carefully selected. It must match the style of the house and the environment. Chimes and wind chimes are no longer only made of metal sticks, but also made of bamboo. The sound of this is soothing and contributes significantly to relaxation. Fragrant flowers in pots near the seat can act like aromatherapy. We would like to show you how you can optimally combine colors and scents to your advantage and benefit.
So if you don't have your own garden, you don't have to do without climbing greenery or decorative floral arrangements. Terraces and balconies are ideal for planting and greening. A generously proportioned garden almost always opens up an enviable variety of design options, and there are hardly any limits to creative imagination. But even those who live in the city and only have little space for the realization of their garden dreams do not have to do without flowering and fragrant plants. Even a small balcony usually offers enough space for a deck chair or a table with a chair. Just like a garden, the balcony or terrace can also be designed in a certain style. If you want to achieve a strictly formal effect, you are well advised to have one or two tall laurel trees on the terrace. They look particularly beautiful in tastefully decorated pots that are placed in the basement or garage in winter.
