URBAN PLANTER BOXES

Incorporating a water feature into your urban planter boxes is a fantastic way to add movement, sound, and tranquility to a small balcony or patio garden. The key is to choose a method that fits your space and maintenance preference. One simple approach is to create a self-contained container pond. Select a watertight planter or liner, add a small submersible pump for circulation, and surround it with moisture-loving plants like dwarf papyrus or sweet flag. For a simpler option, integrate a small recirculating fountain kit into a larger planter, allowing the water to trickle over stones back into a hidden reservoir. Always use a pump with a filter to keep water clear and prevent mosquitoes. This addition not only enhances aesthetics but also creates a refreshing micro-habitat, turning your urban green space into a peaceful retreat.
