Our Flowering Garden all around the year

My Drawing of a Garden all around the year

Today I would like to share with you how we transformed our small balcony space into a beautiful home garden. This post is a very personal post and quite close to my heart.

So it starts back in April 2019, when I, Sayani, first moved into this apartment after marriage.

My husband planted this Mogra plant fo me, (we also call it Beli in bengali) (Arabian Jasmine) since its one of my favorite plants and it symbolises love. It only has one flower when I first met it.

We always wanted a beautiful garden, so this was our initial additions to the garden, Hibiscus plants. We love hibiscus because we can use it to offer our Gods/idols in the puja mandir.

The next addition to the garden was basil, which we love to use in our kitchen to make beautiful pasta recipes. Yes basil grows like anything, you only need to feed them water day and night.

Once we felt that we can be plant parents, we went to the nursery and got some more decorative, less maintenance plants, like, Areca Palm, Snake Plant, Chinese evergreens, Garden Crotons, spider plant and alamanda.

The snake plants were specially for the bedroom as they generate enormous amount of oxygen.

So here are our initial blooms from the beautiful garden which was just 2 months old.

We also put some of the propagated plants in our room for decorations.

And the balcony started coming to shape gradually. It felt so good to see it grow.

So this is how it looks now.

We mostly tried to use recycled things to grow our balcony garden. But here are a few things that are amazing products that helped our garden to grow. Links are below'
