Growing flowers in a small space is a challenge for anyone living in the city, in an apartment, or otherwise small place.
When I was living in London, United Kingdom, I thought that the idea of gardening was inaccessible to city dwellers. I was so immersed in the everyday grind of my city life that I associated gardening with the luxury of living in the countryside.
How wrong was I?
A while back, I read this article in a magazine about how growing even a tiny portion of your food would help the environment. Unconvinced about the association between small spaces and growing plants, I tried some herbs. I started with basil and mint, and the result was so satisfying! I continue to these days growing daffodils, cactuses and many other plants. It came to mind that some of you might need a bit of encouragement to venture into this endeavor.
Whether you want to do it for the environment, promote wildlife and biodiversity, or love organic vegetables and beautiful flowers, go ahead and plant something today.
If you still think you do not have space for flowers and plants after all of the above, go straight to the third video: there is no excuse! I selected my top three videos about gardening when you do not have a huge garden or a house, in case you need motivation or inspiration to start your green adventure.
