In this lesson, you’ll explore three beginner-friendly ways to grow vegetables in small or flexible spaces: container gardening, vertical gardening, and square-foot gardening.

All seeds need the same basic things to grow:

  • ☀️ Light (at least 6 hours a day for most veggies)
  • 🌡️ Warmth (ideal soil temps range from 60–75°F)
  • 🌱 Soil (well-drained, loose, nutrient-rich)
  • 💧 Water (consistent moisture but not soaked)
  • ↔️ Space (each seed type needs its own spacing)

Each garden method supports these needs in different ways — and choosing the right one can help you make the most of your space.
