Do you want to set up a garden in a small space at your home? Here are some useful tips you need to keep in mind for gardening in small spaces.

Choose Suitable Plants

When space is limited, it is compulsory to choose plants that are well-suited for small gardens. You can opt for compact or dwarf varieties that won't overwhelm the area.

Vertical Gardening

Vertical gardening is a fantastic technique for maximizing space. You can use walls, fences, or trellises to grow plants vertically. You can also install hanging baskets, wall-mounted planters, or vertical garden systems.

Container Gardening

Select containers of various sizes and shapes to accommodate different plants. Hanging baskets, window boxes, and stackable planters are excellent options for small spaces.

Succession Planting

It is a technique in which you continuously sow or plant new seeds throughout the growing season.

Don't let any space go to waste

Find creative ways to utilize every corner and place small pots on windowsills, hang plants from the ceiling, or create a vertical herb garden.

Companion Planting

Do companion planting in your small garden to maximize space and enhance plant health. 

Creative Plant Placement

Use vertical wall planters or hanging pockets to grow herbs or trailing plants. You can install a window box outside your kitchen window for easy access to fresh herbs.
