The balcony baroness
Ewa is completely wild about plants! Inspired by the lush fruits and vegetables on neighbouring balconies, Ewa decided to turn what was once an empty concrete box into a living jungle. She now has a steadily growing number of 70 plants on what is known as one of the most enchanting balconies in Kraków (and 120 plants more in her apartment).
With an urban garden on this scale in such a small area, Ewa has gone vertical to find space for her plants, as well as her impressive arsenal of gardening tools and supplies.
Gardening is a bulky business, with lots of tools and supplies. A vertical shelving unit also gives you plenty of storage space for your pots, gloves, hand trowels, pruning shears, watering cans, eco-fertilizer, and different types of soil. You get a better overview of your smaller items if you use many small boxes instead of gathering everything in one large box. Boxes like REJSA are ideal for keeping tools in place, and easy to label so that you can quickly see what’s stored inside.
All in all, the vertical garden makes the balcony look bigger and frees up floor space, so you have room to relax, hang out and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
