Our Bloom month has been incredibly fun and resourceful, and has left me very inspired to do some gardening. We actually have space in our yard for quite a lot of planting, but I'd prefer to do something smaller and more compact and easier to care for. This guide from Small Notebook on designing a small container garden highlights ways to maximize your space.

Even in my small space, I've been able to successfully grow citrus trees, flowers, shrubs, herbs, vegetables, and vines. It just takes planning and special arranging to make it all fit together, much like packing everything in the trunk of your car for a road trip, or making everything fit inside your closet.
