Gardening in Tight Spaces Part 1
Gardening in tight spaces seems to be a modern day occurrence with people living in smaller and smaller accommodation.
Today we’re tackling a tiny balcony situation high up on the 7th floor.
That may not be where you live, but there’ll be something that you can take from this.
Let’s find out.

Tillandsia capitata |
I'm talking with Peter Nixon, garden designer and director of Paradisus garden design
If you have a westerly aspect that’s under cover, go for anything in the Tillandsia family.
Peter suggests Tillandsia fasciculata hybrids and Tillandsia capitata hybrids.
And the suggestions were if you’re stuck with a tiny balcony, or even courtyard, then do use those vertical surfaces.
Those modular units can be a bit pricey, but there are alternatives if you’re prepared to do your own hand watering. If you have any questions about gardening in tight spaces or have a suggestion either for me or for Peter why not write in or email me at www.realworldgardener.com
