How to grow flowers without a yard? A small balcony can also create a big garden

A year ago, my mom came back from traveling abroad and talked about how every household abroad was full of flowers, which planted the seed of flower growing in me. Later, I accidentally came across a Rosa 'Pierre de Ronsard' flower wall, and from then on I embarked on the one-way road of gardening.

With no land and no large terrace, I have only a small balcony to house my passionate gardening heart. I browsed forums and Taobao to cram in planting knowledge, and by the first spring I finally had a small harvest, though of course I walked there over countless corpses.

People who grow flowers always have a kind of compulsory habit: before there is even time to mourn the empty pots of dead plants, they start browsing Taobao to choose new plants to fill them. The feeling of growing things bit by bit through bloom and wither is an indescribable quiet beauty of the years, and before you can savor it carefully, the flowers have already begun to fade. The output of a small balcony is naturally not as high as that of the big landowners, and every single flower is the fruit of heartfelt effort.

In order to preserve their beauty as much as possible, I painted them into pictures and dried them into specimen frames, making the most of everything and reluctant to waste even a little. Even indoors, I have to place all kinds of plants; only when I see green everywhere and brilliant colors do I feel that life is peaceful and beautiful. Growing flowers is also cultivating the mind, and like painting, it is something that can be done for a lifetime.
