The urban environment is rewarding in the sense that you have everything you need to carry on a great quality of life. The only trouble is that you could lose touch of your “green” side. Even when you have little space to work with because of an apartment lifestyle, you have options to take on.

Apartments are hard to get light into, even with windows. During winter it’s not possible to keep plants out in the sun on the window sill due to extreme weather. Luckily we can recreate the effect the Sun has on our plants by using approved lighting sources. Try to allot a certain part of your apartment, or even an entire room, to your small garden. That way the light won’t interfere with your normal routine.

If you still crave the open areas that a real garden provides, community gardens are an option. If you live at a condo, you will have better odds at creating a garden since you have a stake in the building. The garden would probably have restrictions on what is grown and where, but you and the real estate on which you live will both see a better outlook from the experience of a community garden.

Food gardens are hard to duplicate in closed spaces. Trees and bushes are hard to get into an apartment, and if they can be, then as they grow they will become a nuisance. Instead focus on smaller vegetables and fruits. The cabbage plant is a good plant for such an application, since it takes up little space and offers great salads.

Don’t worry about fertilizer if you are short on cash. You can get a chicken if you have a small backyard to provide it. While you would think such a thing would be messy, it actually is an easy process. Some states ban the ownership of a rooster in urban areas, but hens should be just fine. Check with your local laws to see what you can do.

Don’t be turned away by a plant that is too large or long. Plants that are too long, such as those of vine plants, can actually make your rooms look healthier. Vine plants are great for the general living room or entry room. Visitors will notice the plant right away and feel at home once they grab hold of the natural vibes that the plants give out when used properly.

In Conclusion

An apartment lifestyle doesn’t have to rob you of your yearning for a garden. Just try to get creative in how you create your garden with limited resources. Your local gardening center should have more information on starting a mini garden in your urban setting.
