With our magazine, we want to give you a comprehensive overview of important know-how on all topics related to balcony planting.
Plants, flowers & herbs for the balcony
Whether flowering, bee-friendly, perennial, evergreen, or winter-hardy - especially if you are just starting out in your gardening hobby - the different types and "categories" of balcony plants alone can quickly be overwhelming. We want to support you and give you a little botany along the way.

For example, you can find out which plants are suitable for a north-facing balcony, which flowers attract bees and other insects, and how you can add colour to your balcony in autumn and winter with the right planting.
