Gardening
Grow plants, vegetables and flowers in your own space.
What is Gardening?
Gardening is growing food, flowers or greenery wherever you have space — a balcony counts. It rewards patience, teaches you the seasons and gives you something to show for every week of effort.
🚀 How to start
- Start with 3–5 easy plants such as basil, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, mint and marigolds
- Check how many hours of direct sun your space gets and choose plants that match
- Water deeply but less often and keep a simple calendar of sowing and harvest
