No matter the size of your home or garden, greenery is always an option!

Tiny plants are the sweetest little solutions for gardeners with limited space. The advantage of going small, other than tiny plants being simply adorable, is that they are fast-growing and will still look lovely as they get bigger. Save space by going vertical or start a mini veggie garden and experiment with microgreens – they’re delicious! Microgreens are also a great choice for beginner gardeners who are still finding their green fingers.

Raised beds and edible pots are great space-savers and good for growing beginner veggie gardens. Sow pot peppers, mini tomatoes, and compactly-sown microgreens for a tasty patch of nutrition. To give your microgreens the best head start, use special vegetable compost, available at your garden centre.
