Sustainable gardening means, no pesticides. I like a dwarf lilac tree, and had a great time with a bunch of poppey seeds from Pender Island (2006).

Garden: smallest shade garden ever!
North/east facing patio, 10ft by 10ft. On UVIC family housing. Tiny but mighty, I have about 20 non-stop begonias, blooming their hearts out, also 4 white impatiens, some kenilworth ivy, a couple of hardy fuschias and some corsican mint, mixed in with other annuals that can handle the shade. Great lil garden for kids, as nothing is toxic.
Garden: Indoor Container Garden (in planning)
I have always been brutally awful at keeping indoor plants alive but I believe in the principle of try, try again and I am hoping my children's love and help will....help! As a child my dad would sprout grapefruit seeds between paper towel and a glass, put toothpicks into carrots and potatoes and show me how they sprouted, and it was fabulous. I want to do this too but take it to the next level: grow them the full way with my kids so they can see that even indoors we can grow and eat our own food. My main challenge is being a north-south facing townhouse that I have, really, one good kitchen window with south light: my north window gets virtually no direct sunlight, even less in the winter. So, I figure we will stick to what grows relatively well indoors: container tomatoes, a bean plant or two, perhaps some carrots, our herb pot and, just for fun, I will take on the challenge of growing my own coffee.

Garden: Rose's Balcony of Relaxation
We just moved to a new apartment. Eastern exposure, almost total shade, so the marigolds & Martha Washington geranium I brought with me are not happy! Neither is my succulent planter. So I guess next year, it will be lots of coleus (love coleus), impatients, begonias, ferns, whatever I find suitable, I guess. There's not even much light for my houseplants.

Garden: From Long Island, US to Hong Kong
My ex-garden in Long Island,New York was on a good size of land. A lotus pond with lotus, waterlily and Koi fish; Tree Peony, Coreopsis, Japanese Maple, Pines, Dogwoods, Azalea, roses and Clementis... Spring,summer,fall,winter, spring... enchanting
to see the seasons change.
Now I move to Hong Kong in which private land garden is almost not existing, only with a hot and a cool season. It is a big void without any plant life around, so I created this balcony garden to fill the void - from 8000 sq ft to 38 sq ft - what a drastic
change! But that little sacred space capsulizes the universal joy of gardening -

Garden: Small Arboretum
I purchased a house with a yard that was landscaped for 20 years by the previous owners who really knew what they were doing. The yard has significance in the property value. The 1/4 acre has a small greenhouse, a stream, and 3 ponds. A former aviary has been converted to a multi-functional building (outdoor office, storage, potting bench, etc). Most of the plants were propogated in the greenhouse years ago. The plants are all indigenous, which is helpful. I have lived here for almost 10 years and am STILL learning about this yard (this is my first yard and my first house). When horticulturists and landscapers come here, they are amazed by how much there is in such a small space. It is almost like living in a small park in many ways: a small trail, stone steps, old rhodies, azaleas, magnolias, fruit trees, etc. I LOVE this yard! :)
Garden: The Half Ton Garden
The garden is on our third floor apartment building deck. We cultivate a variety of vegetables, as well as florals. In particular we have several hibiscus, a jade tree and a miniature citrus tree which we have had for several years.

We enjoy our days and nights out amongst our Half Ton Garden.

Garden: Ruthie's Garden
My garden is a mixture of all kinds of plants; some plants are 10, 15 and some 20 years old. Each plant has its own story. Most of my garden has gone to "pots" More than 200 pots adorn my garden! I chose this style because, number one, it's easier for me and number two, with a potted garden I can rearrange it as often as I like. My present goal is to acquire more desirable pots for my garden. At present most of,well, a large portion of my pots are simply painted plastic containers. So much of my garden is in full blossom at present, thanks to the abundence of rain recently in California. My dream is to have a continueous blossoming garden through the year. Perhaps I can accomplish this desire as I utulize your tips and information from this site and my dream will become a reality.

Garden: Blue Heron Park Community Garden
This sweet garden, located in a new park, features 20 plots, each 20 X 20, with two handicapped accessible plots which are raised to 24 inches. It also has a children's garden with a pizza garden, butterfly garden, bean teepee, and some tiny square foot garden boxes for the kids. The garden is only 5 years old, and was designed and built by teens living in a shelter home. They surveyed the surrounding neighborhoods for interest, applied for a local grant, built a garden shed, and built a deer proof fence using poles harvested from a forestry project. It has a gazebo built from the same harvested lumber. Gardeners gather monthly for parties and workdays. This year we have been blessed with many babies and their young parents, all learning to garden organically.

Dean Sparrewath Nielsen
Avid apartment gardener and composter. Trying to learn about growing food and plants by growing at home. Concerned about the conditions of our atmosphere, therefor trying to minimize the amount of householdwaste which leaves the apartment and ends up at the landfill. Landfills often release methanegasses due to anaerobic decomposition and methane damage our atmosphere heavily. Biodegradeable householdwaste goes directly into the apartment compost.
Alroy Brouwer
My gardens here got their start in Spring of 08, after a big cleanup and a new septic system. Its mostly englih style combined with some edible. I am in the horticulture industry (sell potting soil and fertilizers). the ground is heavy clay so evrything is going into raised beds made of peat, compost and bark.
janet
have lived here for 5 years, it was a big patch of overgrown wilderness ,and hopefully looks better now.
Ruthie
These are the hands that wore the glovrs that tilted the soil, that planted the seeds, that grew the plants that became the garden that Ruthie LOVES! I'm often told that my hands are not garden hands; my hands are not so bad, however, my gloves are my salvation. There's a love affair that exist between my garden and myself. No matter whats going on around me if I can make it to my garben, all is well. Gospel music plays throughout the day in my garden-even our dog, allie, enjoys the melody. The sprinkling system waters the lawn but I choose to water all the plants by hand including all the 15 palm trees. Speaking of palm trees: They are not doing well-I thought we were over the hump-but they (palm trees) keep getting more brown. I have 2 sega palms in the ground, they seem to be doing well, however, the rest are in pots and that might be the problem. My reason for potting the palms is that we have ghopers in our area-actually throughout the entire city and they, gophers, love to eat the roots. Anyway that's my dilemma. I'm open to suggestions! Coming soon: 1. Front Yard Garden 2. Green Tea Room 3. The Eatery (Patio and Grill-outside kitchen-garden) and you already met my Rock Garden. Oh and Ruthie's Garden will undergo some transitions-it will gain a word in the proccess. We will call it Ruthie's Tranquil Paradise. You like that? I mentioned gophers, does anyone have a solution to that problem? No cats or snakes please!!! No cats because my dog, Ollie...
This orchid was on the verge death until we saw it and saved the poor little guy. This orchid was planted in dirt for one and it hadnt been watered in weeks. still blooming and with comming inflorescence we decided we would take the journey and hopefully get it to recover. This photo was taken 3 weeks later! The right potting material and some love and voila!
Early Feb 2010 and our Landlord's son made easy work of ploughing a bit of spare land to extend the veg plot! Tony frantically now digging it over to remove sods which he is piling up to dry and then we will shake off and use soil for potting.(Tony now telling me we will cover the piles which are earth side up, the grass will rot and make a good compost material.)
This is my potting bench area. Lots of herbs and spices ready to place on our deck after we have finished staining it.
I dont know what these seedling are going to be..I put seeds in that I had randomly collected on my rides about town..and decided to put them in potting mix and then i transplanted them as dozens came up..lots more to do..
