Small Gardens are a Solution for a City Harvest

Grow Food in Less Space

You don’t have to have acres of land in order to grow a lot of food. Urban gardeners across the globe are embracing the idea of small gardens. By growing abundantly in raised beds, transforming lawns into vegetable gardens, and growing food in the front yard, they’re harvesting food for their families.

Growing some of your own food is smart and can save you some cash at the checkout.

Small gardens are a great option for those with limited space, limited time, and limited mobility.
