Small Space, Big Blooms: Budget Gardening for Urban Patios

Start Small – Choose a few low-maintenance plants like succulents or herbs. They’re cheap, easy to care for, and ideal for small containers.

Use Vertical Space – Hang planters, use wall-mounted shelves, or repurpose a ladder for a vertical garden. It saves space and adds visual interest.

DIY Containers – Old buckets, tins, or wooden crates make excellent planters. Just add drainage holes.

Grow From Seeds – Seeds are much cheaper than buying mature plants and allow you to grow a variety of blooms on a budget.

Compost at Home – Turn kitchen scraps into compost. It’s a free and eco-friendly way to nourish your plants.

Buy in Season – Purchase plants during sales or when they’re in season for lower prices and better growth success.

Use Mirrors – Place mirrors against walls to reflect light and make your patio feel larger and brighter.

Group Plants Together – Cluster pots for a lush effect. This creates microclimates and reduces water evaporation.
