Utilize vertical space with hanging baskets, wall-mounted planters, and tiered shelving. Choose compact plants and use creative solutions like railing planters and vertical gardens to maximize growing area.

Opt for a high-quality potting mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich. Look for mixes specifically formulated for container plants, which often contain ingredients like perlite or vermiculite to improve aeration and drainage.

Container-friendly vegetables include tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, herbs like basil and parsley, and compact varieties of beans and peas.

Plant native flowers such as marigolds, lavender, and coneflowers to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Avoid using pesticides to encourage a diverse ecosystem that includes beneficial insects like ladybugs and hoverflies.
