Create an organic vegetable garden on your balcony

Are you fed up with products stuffed with pesticides and other chemicals that poison our lives and our planet? Do you want to eat healthy, grow fresh vegetables and aromatic plants to decorate and flavor your cooking? Do you want to participate in the change that is happening in our consciousness to protect the Earth and Nature by applying the principles of permaculture? Would you like to discover a creative, genuine and healthy hobby that will also bring you well-being, but also healthy vegetables and fresh aromatic herbs to your plate? Do you think you can not have all of this because you live in an apartment?

Well, you can do it by creating your organic kitchen garden on your balcony or terrace! Life is also made of simple pleasures that can be transformed into pure happiness easily ;-)

Our collection of practical booklets will prove it! Discover easy and cheap guides that will help bring Nature into your daily life!

We have more than a decade of experience in breeding small animals, but also in growing plants. We created in our park an organic garden where we taught the good gestures to the children by making them understand the importance of respecting Nature, protecting it, but also to cultivate it responsibly in order to reduce the use of chemicals that destroy our health and that of our planet. Our customers enjoyed the vegetables harvested in our organic garden with tomatoes salads , cucumbers, radishes, zucchini, peppers, onions, but also seasoning them with parsley, coriander, savory, thyme, chives, etc. As for eggplant, beans, cherries and other delicacies, they always amazed young and old because they did not expect to find them in a forest.

You think a balcony is too small and you can not create an organic garden there?

Think again as it is perfectly possible. In fact, I have experienced it in my past and I am starting over again. Seeing vegetables grow and take care of them are simple pleasures that everyone can enjoy. In addition, you will have even more fun cooking with your own fresh basil, mint or coriander ...

We also love to cook naturally and prepare all kinds of small dishes or natural drinks to do good :-)

We want to share with you our useful knowledge and our tips to simply "tame" this Nature from which sometimes modern life keeps us away ...

You will discover handy useful little books, always at hand in your smartphone :-)
