"Gardens in the city are very much an extension of how people want to live. Some people lean into romantic notions, others focus on functionality," said landscape architect Brook Klausing. He designed outdoor spaces---a front yard, backyard, and two terraces---to enhance a newly renovated brownstone, making the backyard mostly paved with bluestone for children's outdoor play.
Vertical gardens utilize vertical space, making them an ideal solution for urban living, where outdoor space is limited and greenery is still desired.
"Maximize your balcony garden by choosing compact, sun-loving plants like herbs, succulents, or dwarf vegetables that thrive in containers." - Sunshine Chapman, President, Garden Works
