Want to grow some of your own food but think you don’t have enough space? Do Your Part and think small! That’s because some of the biggest flavors can actually grow in the smallest of places.

Start simply – with just a sunny window. Small flower pots are perfect for growing herbs. Almost all herbs can thrive in these small containers. And, having your favorite herbs on hand in the kitchen is convenient and economical.

If you have a sunny spot outdoors, then you can think a little bigger. Window boxes or larger flower pots outdoors can yield everything from herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, and strawberries. Or, literally turn your garden upside down and use hanging baskets or devices like this one to grow even more foods. The most important thing is to make sure your spot gets a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight a day.

For areas where you have a little more room to grow – consider raised garden boxes. What’s good about these is that you’ll have fewer weeds and pests. And, when you use practice natural gardening techniques, you’ll know exactly what’s in the foods you eat.

No matter if you live in an small apartment or in a house with not a lot of usable land, you can still Do Your Part to create an organic garden to grow foods and enjoy them every season.
