Even in the city, every balcony can make a difference for biodiversity. A balcony without plants offers very few resources for wildlife. Yet, with a few well-chosen pots and native plants adapted to container growing, it is possible to create a true micro-habitat that benefits pollinators and other species. At the scale of a neighbourhood, dozens of planted balconies can form a real network of urban habitats. Growing native plants in pots is accessible, even for beginner gardeners. By choosing species suited to containers, ensuring good drainage, and using durable pots, gardening can remain simple while maximizing the ecological impact...
