Edible Gardens – Great Pleasure in a Small Space
Growing vegetables, fruit, culinary herbs or edible flowers on a terrace or balcony offers enjoyment, a close connection to nature and creative scope all at once. Raised beds, planting ladders and planters provide the most beautiful foundations for this.
Gardening in Raised Beds
They make particularly efficient use of limited space and allow for comfortable, back-friendly gardening at an ideal height. Raised beds are suitable for growing vegetables, salads, herbs or low-growing berry bushes, are a natural eye-catcher even on balconies and, as varied grazing gardens, are popular not only with children. High-quality compost and reliable drainage ensure optimal growing conditions.
Vertical Gardening
Upward-reaching planting ladders keep fresh herbs within easy reach across their various levels and can be naturally complemented with small perennials or summer flowers for a rich display of blooms. For every location there is a suitable plant – from sun-loving Mediterranean varieties to shade-tolerant mints – stimulating the senses with delicate fragrance and aroma. Garpa planting ladders can be positioned freestanding or leaned against a sturdy wall.
Fruit and Vegetables in Planters
Compact fruit and vegetable varieties can also be grown successfully in generously sized planters. With the right growing medium and sufficient drainage, cherry tomatoes, peppers, cut-and-come-again salads, chard or spinach thrive just as reliably as raspberries, currants or columnar fruit trees. Space-saving and flexible, planters on the terrace or balcony offer individual design possibilities.
