Home gardening wherever you can put in a plant can be a rewarding experience! Don’t have a big garden area to grow tomatoes or flowers this summer? Don’t worry, you can garden practically anywhere. All you need are some creative container ideas, dirt, starter plants and a little gardening love to grow a garden anywhere.
Raised Bed Gardens
If you’ve got a small amount of space, you can build a simple framework and fill it with your soil and plants. This is often easier than digging down into your yard.
Container Gardens
If backyard space is limited, think about gardening in containers. Pots, crates, milk jugs or practically any container can work for planting herbs, flowers or veggies. You can even decorate your containers and stack them at various heights on patio furniture. Add or subtract as you go, arranging your plants for maximum efficiency and beauty.
Vertical Gardens
You can grow small plants like herbs, spinach or hanging vines, in small sturdy planters or pots attached to your fence! No ground space necessary. Be sure to locate plants in the right spot on your fence, considering how many hours of direct sunlight that area receives every day.
Window Gardens
Inside or outside, window gardens take up no ground space, like vertical gardens. Either attach a garden box below your windows outside, or simply set your potted plants right in the window on the inside of your home. Either way, you’ll enjoy a beautiful view all summer.
