To get started with small-space gardening, consider these top five ideas:

• 1) Employ windowsill herb gardens for easy access to fresh herbs. These gardens require at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
• 2) Implement vertical gardening techniques, such as wall-mounted planters or hanging pots, to maximize floor space and add visual interest.
• 3) Try container gardening using pots with drainage holes to maintain proper moisture levels, preventing root rot.
