PROMISE in a pot

Go ahead and transform your balcony or patio into a flowering oasis by thinking outside the box

-

NO garden? No problem. Do you dream of a beautiful, blooming garden, but you don’t have space? Don’t despair. It’s time to start thinking outside the garden. Think balcony. Think patio. Think containers.

With a bit of creativity, you can turn a small space into an eye-catching display of greenery and you don’t even need a lawn or flowerbed to get started.

All you need is a couple of pots and a place to put them.

Space should not be a limitation to anyone wanting to release their inner Keith Kirsten.

Many flowers, vegetables and herbs thrive in pots and can all be grown successful­ly on your patio or balcony. The best part is you aren’t limited to traditiona­l flower pots. Any container works, from buckets to wooden crates, as long as it’s the right size and has ample drainage. With the right elements, anyone can transform their patio into a flowering oasis.
