You don’t need a lot space to grow anything, honestly. Realistically, most household who wish to grow food, don’t have the space for rows of veggies and we found a few ways how to grow a vegetable garden in a small space!
The tower garden is my first recommendation because it’s where convenience and healthy meets. It is low maintenance for newbies or busy people as well as it a healthy option for everyone. Assembly is easy, their are affordable payment options, and it takes up about 3 feet of space- perfect for indoor or outdoor. The tower garden uses aeroponics to grow plants almost 3x as much as you typically would yield growing in soil.The way it works is basically, a mixture of water and mineral nutrients waterfall up the tower from the bottom reservoir to water the plants’ roots on a timely schedule. The most work it requires is the simple assembly.

Container gardens are basically growing plants in planters/pots. I have a small space in my backyard that holds about 30+ plants that resides in planters and they all do pretty well. Also with planters, you can re-arrange your pots how you like and use plant stands to save space and room. Planters are even a great choice when wanting to create gorgeous spaces by mixing different flowers together – also known as companion gardening.
Raised garden beds are a step up from planters because typically they are about 4-5 feet long and wide and act as a in ground garden bed, just raised usually by wooden or steel legs. It’s a great option because it consolidate all your plants into one designated space. Due to the elevated nature, it keeps pest at a minimal as well.
