In this episode, we’re talking about practical ways to garden in small spaces—whether you live in an apartment, have a tiny backyard, or just want to make the most of every inch of soil. Many people dream of growing food but feel limited by their space. Today, we’re diving into creative ways to make gardening work—no matter where you live! Whether it’s filling flower beds with vegetables, growing vertically with trellises and stacking pots, or using grow lights indoors, there’s always a way to produce fresh food.
