Ama­teur gar­de­ner Ramo­na Peters desi­gned two lar­ge bal­co­nies (75 squa­re meters in total) on the 5th flo­or in Sieg­burg. In addi­ti­on to vege­ta­bles, fruit and flowers, a worm box, insect nes­t­ing aids and bird nes­t­ing boxes, she has many nati­ve trees and shrubs on her bal­c­o­ny. Sin­ce 2023, she has also had an allot­ment gar­den.

Con­tents:

Nati­ve shrubs or fruit trees on the bal­c­o­ny? YES! Buckt­horn, buckt­horn, cher­ry, plum, elder, hawt­horn, blackt­horn, field map­le, rock pear, snow­ball, cor­ne­li­an cher­ry and pea­cock have each been on the bal­c­o­ny for 2–3 years. Some in 40x40cm pots, others have a litt­le more space. Howe­ver, they all have to share the space with peren­ni­als, bul­bous plants, etc. The shrubs are gre­at for the local fau­na and are also beau­tiful to look at. Espe­ci­al­ly in win­ter, the pots are not so emp­ty.
