The increase in population rate every year makes it difficult for everyone to get their own personal space where they can do anything they want.   This is especially true for individuals who live in urban areas.  From this need so many innovations were made so that even with limited space we can still do what we want.  One of these improvisations is the planter box.

For those who love gardening and living in a metropolitan area at the same time face more challenges than those living in the countryside.  Most common concern is finding enough space that one needs to grow their plants.   Sometimes some have the space but the area available is facing west which doesn’t receive a stronger sun for most of the plants to grow.  Others find it too tedious to raise the plants because of so many people passing by, children playing around or pets who can destroy those plants.  The availability of planter box as one’s substitute for a real garden is the best choice for these people.

The planter box can be a small representation of a garden complete with a self contained system including irrigation.  You can plant flowers, vegetables or herbs in these small boxes then put them on the window or any small space you have available or you can even hang them on the balcony if you have brackets.  There are two known types of planter box.  The permanent and the movable.  Permanent boxes are part of the structure of the house whereas the movables are the ones that can be moved from one room to another.  Some of these planter boxes even have wheels for mobility so that you have an option to move your plants where they can best get the sunlight to help them grow.  Also the kinds of plants you grow are not only limited to the small types but you also have an option to grow even trees or shrubs since the planters come in different sizes.  Not only do they vary in size but they are also made up of different materials which you can choose from to go with the theme you want your little garden to be.

Gardening is something that everyone should take pleasure in.  There are so many ways that you can make it more convenient and work for you despite any challenges.  The hustle and bustle of city life should not discourage anyone from realizing their green thumb.
