Roundup: 8 DIY Small Space Garden Ideas

I don’t have the greenest of thumbs, but with spring in full force where I live, I am eager to get outside and play in the dirt. Not all of us have a lot of land to work with, but these small space garden ideas prove that it’s no excuse not to get growing. 

You can line an outdoor wall with plants using Wooly Pockets. They’re lined with moisture barriers so you won’t get dripped on when you’re sitting outside enjoying their beauty.  Check out tons of inspiring images in their gallery.

Have garden, will travel! Kristi gives a full DIY tutorial on how to build this elevated garden bed. The best part is, if you move you can take it with you!

Succulents and I have a love/hate relationship. I love them. They hate me. But if you’re lucky enough to live in a dry climate where they flourish, this blog post has some gorgeous inspiration for incorporating succulents into your container gardens.

So are you full of ideas and ready to go dig in the dirt? Or are you ready to plop down on that chaise lounge with a good book? Either way works for me.
