Living in a city can mean giving up the luxury of a big garden to spend your summer in. But your gardening dreams don’t have to be crushed by city living. You can transform your small outdoor space into a relaxing haven in just a few steps. Even if you don’t have a courtyard or a balcony, there are many ways to bring some green into your home.

Here are some great urban garden design ideas for your small living space.

Grow a windowsill vegetable patch

If you have a green thumb, a vegetable patch is perfect for your small space! Start small with a mini vegetable patch on your windowsill. You can grow a variety of different fruits and vegetables, including cherry tomatoes, herbs and even beans. Once you feel confident, you could move outdoors, where you can grow these low-maintenance vegetables in small plant pots.

Create an indoor garden

Create an urban garden in your home with a variety of different indoor plants and succulents. If you struggle to keep plants alive, there are many low-maintenance house plants which are easy to keep. These include:

• Spider Plant
• Peace Lily
• Cacti
• Pothos
• English Ivy

Not only will your apartment look modern and colourful, but your indoor plants will help to clean the air – perfect for life in a busy city.
