Balcony ideas for self-providers

In the heart of the city - in the heart of the country

What used to be isolated green spots on balconies has grown into a movement: in cities people are digging, planting and harvesting in all kinds of places. The urban gardening trend brings back a slice of nature to the city yet is really easy to do. All you need is a small space for growing, a love of home-grown plants and a dash of creativity.

The versatile pots in the LECHUZA Stone Collection are the ideal partners for growing vegetables, herbs or snack fruit and their natural stone look makes them perfect for modern city balconies or roof terraces.

The general rule here is: The bigger the plant, the bigger the size of the roots and the more water and space it needs.
The harmoniously curved CUBETO planting bowl lets you create little herb gardens that not only fit on your balcony and terrace but also directly add spice to your table at your next barbeque party. And the practical all-rounder CANTO Stone works as a large cube and a pillar to give enough space to all plants with a large root ball.

Your crop plants are fed the same way nature does it and the pot's removable base screw protects against water build-up in heavy rain.

What grows on a balcony or terrace?

Delicacies from the hobby garden

Naturally, the most important question when you plant your city garden is what you should even plant. Plucking lettuce or rocket are also perfect for beginners and last a whole summer: if you only harvest the outer leaves, the plant happily keeps growing and continues supplying you with vitamins. Popular mini berry vines or little citrus trees transform anywhere into a relaxed green space in these striking natural stone pots. Even vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and zucchini are perfect for planting in tubs. Regularly adding commercially available fertilisers speeds up the growth process and means you'll have a rich harvest.
