Tips for Urban Gardeners

1. Choose the Right Plants

Opt for plants that thrive in small spaces such as herbs, cherry tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce.

Maximize your space by using hanging baskets, trellises, and wall-mounted planters.

Grow your plants in containers like pots, window boxes, or repurposed items like buckets or crates.

Ensure your containers have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

Most plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight, so place your garden in a sunny spot or use grow lights indoors.

Avoid overwatering by checking the soil moisture regularly and watering only when needed.

Stay on top of tasks like pruning, fertilizing, and pest control to ensure a healthy garden.

Indoor herb gardens are a great way to have fresh herbs at your fingertips year-round.

Place your herbs in a sunny window, rotate pots for even growth, and harvest regularly to promote new growth.

Get creative with herb containers like mason jars, hanging planters, or a herb garden kit for a stylish indoor display.

Use your home-grown herbs in cooking, teas, cocktails, or for their aromatic properties.
