Gardening in Limited Spaces


Previously a sales manager with Computerland in Paoli, Pennsylvania, David Jarjisian later became senior vice president of Jackson-Cross Company in Philadelphia. Responsible for maintaining the tenancy of major office buildings, he was a multiple-time, top 10 producer in Pennsylvania’s City Center. David Jarjisian now enjoys gardening in his free time.

Gardening in a city can present challenges due to limited space, but there are many varieties of fruits, herbs, and vegetables that don’t need a lot of room to grow. Many can be grown successfully in pots or containers. All they require is rich garden soil, plenty of sunshine, and access to water.

Perfect candidates for container gardening include carrots, radishes, and lettuce, which take up minimal space and can be replanted after harvest. Tomatoes and peppers are also good choices, as they produce crops that can be harvested over and over.

Some people enjoy creating themed gardens, such as a “summer salad” container planted with tomato, cucumber, and parsley or chives. All these plants have similar requirements for sun and water, and grow well together.
