Gardening Projects for Apartment Dwellers

Gardening ideas when dealing with limited spaces

Question I'd love to share my enthusiasm for gardening with my son, but we live in an apartment building and don't have a yard. Do you know of any gardening projects for small, sunny spaces, like a patio?

Answer Container gardening is a great way to introduce your child to the magic of growing flowers and vegetables. But you don't have to limit your choices to the standard pots and window boxes. Whimsical containers can really add personality to a small garden. The Jug Heads just need a little water and sun to put down roots. Even Old Boots can be turned into homes for sweet-smelling flowers. Our Mini Water Garden delivers a look into the world of aquatic plants for your budding green thumb.
