Description
Choose the right plants for the space you actually have.
Balcony gardening: what to grow depends first on the space and conditions you actually have.
Balcony & Rooftop Gardening: What to Grow is a practical guide to choosing and growing vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, and ornamental plants in containers on balconies and rooftops.
A plant that looks perfect in a garden centre may be completely wrong for your space. Light, shade, wind, climate, container size, watering needs, and the time you can give your plants all matter.
This book helps you assess those conditions first — and then choose plants that realistically fit them.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- assess the light, heat, wind, water access, and growing space you actually have,
- match plants to realistic container sizes,
- understand soil, watering, pH, and climate requirements,
- use plant profiles and Quick Facts to compare options quickly,
- choose vegetables, herbs, fruit, flowers, and climbers suited to container growing,
- identify plants that need extra support, pollination partners, winter protection, or special soil,
- avoid buying plants that are unlikely to work in your conditions,
- build a practical shortlist before spending money on plants, pots, and growing media.
The goal is not to grow everything.
It is to choose plants that fit your space, your climate, and the amount of care you can realistically provide.

Built from Real Experience
This book is based on years of hands-on gardening experience.
Andrew first grew vegetables, fruit, and flowers on an allotment, then moved into rooftop and balcony gardening, where wind, limited root space, faster drying, and container size became much more important.
The Andrew’s Experience sections are based on plants actually grown, tested, and learned from.
The goal is simple: help you make better choices sooner and avoid wasting time, money, and growing space.
