Not everyone is lucky enough to have a huge lawn where there are a lot of possibilities for a garden.

Some of us, especially urban dwellers, have just a small patio or terrace we could work on to add greenery to our homes.

But it isn’t impossible to have your own garden, even if you live in a small city apartment or a tiny rental home. You can work with the space that you have and wear your creative hat in order to pull off a gardening project.

    You can make a mobile garden with movable planters, or recycle small containers instead of using regular-sized pots, to easily bring your garden when you need to move.

    You can also set up a vertical garden, hang the pots, and create raised beds to maximize the space that you have.

    Lastly, you can pick out plants that bring a pop of color to make up for the size of your garden, or plants that you can actually eat and use for cooking.

    There are many ways to work around a simple challenge like a lack of space. It’s not impossible to beautify your home and have a greenery haven at the heart of an urban-dwelling.

    You just have to have the determination to do it.
