1. Choose the Right Plants
Select plants that are well-suited for small spaces such as herbs, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, or flowers like pansies and petunias.
2. Vertical Gardening
Utilize vertical space by growing plants on walls, fences, or trellises. Hanging baskets and wall-mounted planters are also great options.

Grow plants in containers such as pots, buckets, or window boxes. Ensure proper drainage and choose the right size containers for your plants.
