Do you feel the same way?
- Are you bothered by your empty, unused balcony?
- You want to grow something yourself. Harvest it yourself. You want to do it right. Don’t know how to start. With what? When is the right time? All these different types of soil. These many varieties of planters… What is easiest to start with?
- You think you don’t have green fingers. So you don’t even need to start. Nothing can come of it.
- Are you bothered by the huge amounts of plastic packaging in which salad, fruit and vegetables are sold?
- Are you unsure because there are more and more food scandals, even in the organic sector?
- You know how important it is to be close to nature, but you can’t go into the forest or the surrounding countryside very often. You need it to be easy and comfortable.

Any questions?
My vision is for more people to use their balconies (and windowsills): close to nature, for self-sufficiency and as an oasis of well-being. I want to reach many people and I like to be generous so that a lot can be improved on urban balconies.
For life — as long as I continue with the organic balcony project. As the majority of the 58 million balconies in Germany are still empty or planted with geraniums that are not insect-friendly, or are used as a storage room for ladders, clothes racks and beer crates, there is still a lot to do and I will be active for a long time to come. What’s more, you can access the members’ area 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world via PC, notebook or smartphone.
Immediately after your registration, you will receive an email with your personal access data to the protected member area of the course. You can open the member area via PC, notebook or smartphone and find all the videos, checklists and bonuses for the course there.
I am sure that you will achieve success with this course if you really get into action. I want to take away all your doubts with the 14-day money-back guarantee. You have 14 days to look at the course at your leisure. If you don’t like it, I will refund you the full amount. No ifs, ands or buts.
Every balcony design costs money. This is unavoidable. I will show you variants that require little financial outlay and I will show you effective variants that are more expensive. As I am very well connected, I have negotiated discounts in the organic sector that you can take advantage of.
The course is structured so that you can get started right away. Module 1 contains the basics of sustainable balcony gardening for successful gardening. Depending on the desired design of your balcony, you choose the appropriate module. Depending on the time of year, you can even get started in winter with regrowing and growing vitality-rich sprouts and microgreens, as well as bird feeding, of course. The course includes sowing and planting tables for each month.
There is no rule of thumb for this. The most important thing is the beginning, the start. Here you will receive the most suitable information from experts to help you get off to an effective and successful start. Start with what you like best and work your way into it SLOWLY. It is important not to take on too much at the beginning so that you don’t get overwhelmed. But beware, there is potential for addiction 🙂
