About This Template

No yard? No problem. This balcony-optimized layout fits a surprising variety of vegetables and herbs into a narrow 6×3 footprint. Planter pots keep everything tidy and portable, while cherry tomatoes climb on supports. Herbs at the front are easy to snip while cooking, and compact greens fill every gap. Perfect for apartment dwellers who want to grow their own food.
