Don’t Have a Garden? You Can Still Garden.

Anyone can garden. That may sound like a crazy thing to say when so many of us live in accommodation that doesn’t even have access to a garden, but there are still options available to anyone who wishes to plant a few things, watch them grow and harvest them when the need arises. It does not depend on having a patch of land attached to your home, no matter what the size of accommodation you live in. You can still garden as long as you have the meteorological conditions in which to do it. And for most of us, if not all, that is the case – even if we live in a third floor apartment.

Have you got a window? Yes? There you go, that is all you need in order to start. You will need to add a window box, but they are far from expensive and you can even make one yourself with some wood, some soil and a few rudimentary tools. Then you just need some seeds or seedlings, and you’re away. Natural light is not a problem, so all you need to do is water your plants regularly and make sure the soil has all the nutrients it needs. If that is not naturally the case – and good soil is usually available cheaply from any good garden centre – then you can buy plant food to give it that extra boost. No problem.

If you want to take things further, there are many areas of land given over to allotments. An allotment is a small spot of land that can be used to cultivate plants. As long as you are not using them for the growing of anything illegal, you are generally free to use them for any purpose that you see fit. They are generally quite affordable, and they allow more freedom and space than a window box or something similar. They allow you to learn the principles of gardening without having to move heaven and earth, and they are also a relaxing haven away from the cut and thrust of everyday life. See? Anyone can garden.
