Tend to them lovingly as it will make you feel one with Nature besides supplying you with your own fresh produce throughout. You can grill, roast, and cook them all in your barbecue grill station as well as in the kitchen if need be.
Zen Garden

Get a calming water element and mount a mini water fountain to create a serene environment you can escape into whenever you want as it’d be your perfect in-house outdoor escape. Upgrade it into a rejuvenating Zen retreat by adding air-purifying plants such as chrysanthemums, spider plants, Chinese evergreens, and/or orchids, and install some exquisite wall art, figurines, and water fountain to add to the effect if possible. Sprinkle some sand and pebbles in some nooks of your balcony/terrace and consider artificial grass flooring or wooden flooring for your Zen garden as well.
Café You can Call your Own
