Life On The Balcony – Great Container Gardening Blog

July 13th, 2010 by admin

We stumbled across this blog whilst performing a routine search of related industries and it immediately caught our eye so we decided to take a deeper look. 

We were extremely surprised at just how much you can do with a garden when you haven’t got much of a garden or a garden at all. Container gardening is the correct term and what a great idea. We realise that container gardening isn’t a new idea but after taking a look around it is certainly a lot more adventurous than the single window box that first sprung into my mind.

You will find all sorts of tips on how to start and grow (no pun intended) your own container garden. Book reviews, videos and other people’s comments are all included. One of the blogs major attractions (apart from the great content) is the obvious passion the owner Fern Richardson has for the subject matter (She also has a no nonsense approach which we love)

The site is very well laid out and extremely user friendly. If you live in an apartment block or anywhere else where you either don’t have a garden or your gardening space is limited then don’t hesitate to check out Life On The Balacony.

Winner of the 2010 Mouse And Trowel Award for the best container gardening blog not to mention all of the other mentions over the internet this blog is an excellent read and gets a huge thumbs up from the Bathshop team so much so that we have already subscribed.
