Creating a garden in a rental property presents unique challenges and opportunities since you may not have full control over the space. Here are some ideas for creating a garden in a rental property:
Container Gardening: Opt for container gardening, which allows you to cultivate plants in pots, planters, or raised beds that can be easily moved or taken with you when you move out. Choose lightweight containers made of materials like plastic, fiberglass, or composite materials for ease of handling.
Portable Features: Incorporate portable garden features such as trellises, arbors, or freestanding planters that can be placed on patios, balconies, or decks without permanent installation. These features add vertical interest and provide support for climbing plants while allowing for flexibility in layout and design.
