What types of plants can I grow in a small garden?

Asked a year ago
In a small garden, there is a wide range of plants you can grow to create a beautiful and productive space. Compact vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs thrive in limited space. Vertical gardening techniques aid in growing vining crops such as cucumbers or beans. Fragrant flowers, such as lavender or roses, not only add beauty but also attract pollinators. Dwarf fruit trees like apples or citrus can be grown in containers, providing fresh fruit. Additionally, leafy greens, like lettuce or spinach, and root vegetables, such as radishes or carrots, are great choices. Grow climbers like morning glories or sweet peas on trellises. Furthermore, succulents or ornamental grasses add texture and interest in small gardens. The possibilities are endless; be creative and experiment with various plants to make the most of your small garden space.
