USE YOUR PATIO, BALCONY OR COURTYARD TO HELP YIELD A TASTY HARVEST

PATIOS are perfect for growing your own produce.
Whether you've got a small courtyard or a balcony, you can turn it into a thriving edible garden without needing acres of space.
From juicy tomatoes to fragrant herbs and compact fruit trees, patio gardening brings flavour and freshness right to your doorstep.
With the right pots, a splash of sunshine and a few clever choices, even the smallest space can yield a delicious harvest.
GROWING FOOD AT YOUR FEET
There's no need for raised beds or a large garden to grow your own.
Patio pots and containers are simple to set up and even easier to maintain. Also, they're mobile - so you can follow the sun, rearrange with the seasons, or take them with you if you move.
