Gardening is regaining popularity as a pastime for all types of
people across the world, with gardens popping up in the most unexpected
places. While the traditional image of a garden may not exactly fit
into the reality of most urban environments, the fact is you can grow
your own food whether you live on a rural farm or in a tiny Manhattan
apartment. Urban gardening is all about using space wisely to regain a
closer connection with your food and beautify your home or neighborhood.
There are a handful of different types of urban gardens, and the
ones we’re going to focus on here are indoor gardening, container
gardening, community gardening and guerilla gardening. Perhaps you’ve
got a tiny townhouse yard, a balcony, a south-facing window – or
perhaps you live in a basement apartment that won’t support anything
but mold. You can still grow enough of your own food to save a
considerable amount of money and enjoy the freshest, healthiest produce
possible.
