Gardening without a Garden

Gardening without a garden gives as much pleasure to the keen gardener as having a huge plot of ground front and back of a property. Window boxes, containers and hanging baskets for many gardeners is their only landscape. A beautiful plant combination can be inspired by many garden centres and nurseries.



Living in a flat, or apartment, even high rise flats, there is still plenty of opportunities to produce a wonderful show of flowers, all you need to do is concentrate on using plug plants, and garden seeds, which can be planted in containers or hanging baskets.



There is something very special raising your own plants from a simple packed of garden seeds, how wonderful is nature which transforms a tiny seed into a beautiful plant, and all you need to make this happen is compost, water and light.



Raising plants from seeds is a great way to learn more about gardening, and lends itself to planting in unusual containers, which when placed on a balcony or at the entrance to an apartment can make a wonderful colourful display; garden seeds can produce the most wonderful container plants.



If you are a gardener without a garden, and you are determined to have a wonderful display this summer, plug plants are already established plants, and take away the risk of failed germination that can happen with garden seeds, the elimination of time and effort of sowing seeds, in trays then transplanting can be time consuming, and furthermore ‘plugs’ can be delivered direct to your door, this of course will give your container, hanging basket or window box a head start, and are certainly distinguishable from weeds.



Working any garden whether a large plot or just a roof garden, the principal is the same and every gardener will choose what works best for them, a combination of methods either garden seeds or plug plants, just think what you want to grow and then apply the most cost effective and efficient option.



Plug plants are a great choice for annual bedding plants and used in many different ways, carefully planted as hanging basket plants, can make a wonderful show, when planting to create a hanging basket do not just plant is the top of the basket, make holes in the lining and plant down the sides, this will give an all round display.
