My grandmother lived in a big house with a big garden. She cooked very well and had a green thumb. Today, I have a family of my own and we live in a small two bedroom condominium unit. Instead of a garden we have a tiny space for plants in our balcony. Most of my neighbors have real plants in their planter boxes. When we moved in the previous tenant had silk plants in the planter boxes.

Silk plants are a wonderful alternative to real plants if you’re not that into plants. Not everyone has the patience or the talent to take care of plants. Our silk plants look just as good as real plants. They do the job, they give us enough privacy. Silk plants may be a bit expensive but it will not take much to take care of them.
