If you’re living in the middle of the African jungle, the last thing I would suggest for you, is try your hand at indoor gardening. After all, why try to compete with mother nature and come out looking like an amateur? But if, like most of the population of the western world you don’t actually live in the middle of a rain forest then I would really suggest looking into indoor gardening. As a jungle substitute of course.
Why would you go for an indoor garden - as opposed to an outdoor one? The reasons are pretty simple really. You don’t need to get too dirty crawling around on your hands and knees in the dirt. You’ll never need to brave the harsher weather elements that nature will throw at you for trying to compete with her unless your roof is lifted off in a hurricane. It will make your house look nice, and you feel good. And ultimately in the grand scheme of things, it’s good for you.
It’s difficult to imagine how indoor gardening could be good for you, but really it has nothing to do with the gardening itself, more with the plants instead. If you hark back to the good old days of high school and peer pressure, you might just remember vaguely hearing something in science class about plants and photo-something-or-other.
Another element to consider when deciding where to plant your garden is if there are certain areas that need cleaning up or that need to be disguised. With a little imagination and work, you can take an eyesore and change it in to a work of beauty. |
Gardening Tip! |
When planning our beautiful miniature rainforest - surrogate ‘indoor garden’ - you have many chooses of stunning plant options to select from. Ones that the outdoor gardner might not be privy to. I won’t go into a list of possible indoor plants right now as the list is longer than my arm, but if you are interested I would suggest you take a look around in your local plant nursery.
You’ll get a good idea of what types of plants there are for you to choose from, and what types are a no, no. They just won’t grow indoors! You’ll also find with indoor gardening that some plants can be temperamental and will flat out refuse to grow anywhere within a walled-in and roofed area! A simple and easy place to start with would be try your hand at herb gardening. Simple to grow, useful in the kitchen, and best of all not the prima donna type.
Gardening, of any kind, just doesn’t get any better than indoor gardening, especially if you’re not an outdoorsy type of person and don’t want a close encounter with the wormy kind. Or any other type of crawly insect that resides in your outdoor garden, not your indoor garden. The benefits of indoor gardening just keep growing!
