Balcony garden ideas that will transform your small space into a nature-filled comfort of oasis to escape to while you’re in an urban environment. The best part is that it will be only a short distance from your bedroom or living room . It’s perfect when stress or overwhelm starts creeping in. You can just step in there and immediately be surrounded by nature.

Choosing hanging plants is the best option if you don’t have a lot of space on the ground. Also consider using rail planter boxes , these are designed to hang on the side of your deck rail and can dramatically transform your balcony into an eye-catching charm.

This lovely balcony garden is probably one of the simplest setups. Yet, it’s fantastically elegant.

And you might want to create your own zen garden on your balcony by simply adding a bird bath ,which is a great addition to any garden.

 From solar powered bird bath fountains to simple rustic stone bird baths – they make a fascinating talking point and of course help our feathered friends at all times of year.

If you’re interested in bringing birds to your balcony garden to amuse your indoor cats , the bird bath is an amazing attraction and it will turn your balcony garden into
 a wonderful place to just chill or even meditate.

Exactly what I love most about nature is

 They can transform how you feel in an instant

And, just by stepping out onto your balcony, you can get away from the daily stresses of life even just for a few moments and that is priceless.

The article I read about is in Dutch language. But have it translated in english version.

ALKMAAR – It is busy at Hortus Alkmaar. Within a few weeks, the sales of the Artemisia Annua plant, also known as Summer wormwood, have increased significantly. 

This is due to a statement by the President of Madagascar. He claims to have made herbal teas that would help against the coronavirus. 

“People from all over the world call us to ask if we can deliver this. We now sell 25 bags of seeds per day instead of three bags per week”, says Erik ten Winkel, employee at the Hortus. “We really thought: what’s going on here? We’ll be half stock in two weeks.”
The Summer wormwood plant, or ‘qing hao’, is a fern-like plant with bright yellow flowers. This plant has been used for a long time in China as an anti-malarial with a fever-reducing effect. The plant does not grow in the wild and that is why these plants are at the Hortus. Buyers of the seeds use this to grow their own plants and then try to make herbal teas out of it, hoping that it works against the corona virus.
