She has always been a keen gardener and began by using her own small balconies to create a little green oasis of her own.

Create a windbreak if you can, and make sure pots and furniture are not going to get blown over the side, securing them in place if necessary.You want to use all the pockets of space you have to plant out your balcony and then you have the option to weave in more decorative balcony detail around any greenery to still keep your balcony a cool hangout space.
