With the growing population and decreasing open spaces nowadays, new gardening ideas have become an elevating requirement. Environmental change has pushed everyone to go green in an extensive manner. People are changing their surroundings into compact green spaces like vertical gardens and portable home farms.  

The huge scale of urbanization has erased the green landscapes that we used to have in our childhood. Open lawns nowadays have become a thing of luxury. Here, urban gardening comes as a rescue, and the credit of people’s tilt towards urban farming also goes to the lockdown imposed due to COVID-19. There are various methods with which it can be easily done: 

Recycling the non-biodegradable:  

We all know plastic doesn’t decompose in the environment, but it can be recycled and used again for different purposes. For example, plastic bottles of soft drinks that are mostly dumped in the trash can be used as hanging pots on the walls and are break-proof. 

Vertical Garden: 

They are excellent one-stop solutions to many problems. They can be used as partition walls or as a privacy screen to keep away from nosy neighbors and unwanted views. Plants are easily accessible when grown vertically. Also, air quality improves you can also make a separate garden space with all those green walls.

Herb garden: 

If you are a cooking enthusiast then you should definitely try this method. Herbs like thyme, rosemary, basil, sage, etc, are mostly available in dried form in the market and they don’t give that taste as compared to the fresh ones. An herb garden can be set up on your balcony where it will get 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and will be easily accessible. 

There are so many innovations evolving every day around the world, but these are the most popular ones. Find your compact urban garden and GO GREEN.
