The balcony gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 were packed with inspiration for making a beautiful, relaxing garden in a smaller space. A key feature that impressed me in several of the gardens was maximizing vertical space, which is easily achieved with a simple frame, arch, or trellis.
Vertical balcony gardening offers an ideal way to make the most of a compact space. You can get stunning flowers, foliage, and fragrance by growing perennial or annual climbing plants up an arch or trellis.
