Gardens add a lot to the beauty of any landscape, urban or rural, but the problem in urban areas is the lack of cultivable soil because admit it, even a tomato plant wants good soil, water and air to bear tomatoes! And although it may seem very simple, some urban homes don't have even that much going for them, you may be one with similar problems too. But don't worry, you can add a dash of natural beauty to your urban home with garden pots and illuminated planters.
Take Cues from Urban Landscape Artists
Have you ever notice the way urban landscape artists work in limited spaces. There will be trees and structures but there will certainly be innovative ways to save space and add as much greenery as possible. Of course they have more money to work with and so they get custom structures designed to suit their needs but you can mimic a lot of that technique with your home as well.
The easiest trick to copy is getting illuminated planters and garden pots - especially designer ones, and use them in your veranda or balcony or if you are so lucky, in your front yard. Evergreens, flowering plants, cacti and bonsai plants make wonderful potting objects. Buy them from your nearest nursery or get them online. And by the way, you can get almost everything online these days, gardening equipment, seeds, compost soil mix, manure - you name it and online shops will deliver it to your home!
Happy gardening!
