Create your own private garden

At a time when every square meter of urban space costs so much, a growing number of families and individuals are becoming increasingly inclined towards condo living. Living in a smaller space does not mean boxing yourself tight in your unit with little air to breathe of little room to expand your consciousness.

Masterplanned by DMCI Homes, Riverfront Residences offers an environment that is ideal for the general well-being of a growing family. With a little research, you can start a balcony garden and maybe even earn a little income on the side.

You can grow herbs and flowering plants, dwarf trees or even vegetables like tomatoes by utilizing a wide variety of containers such as terracotta pots, glass containers, plastic or wood boxes.

You can start by selecting a focal point of interest – a small fountain, perhaps, or a birdfeeder, an interesting sculpture or a big, vibrant colored plant as the centerpiece. To add more elements in the small areas, use tiered plant racks or cultivate hanging plants.

Importantly, too, pick light materials or portable furniture so as not to put too much strain on the balcony structure.

Life is what you make it. Create a balcony garden in your condo and add a touch of nature and color in your private space.
