Indoor gardens offer a year round experience for experienced and novice gardeners alike.
With a completely controlled environment anything can be grown.
Indoor gardening is also quite popular in urban areas where access to planting areas is very limited.
The only limitation is available space and even that can be overcome with a little imagination.
One of the most interesting uses for an indoor garden is to grow medicinal herbs.
There are literally hundreds of plants that can be grown as treatments for just about as many illnesses.
If it is an apartment then the choice is a simple one.
This is generally a budget decision, but it might just be that a smaller garden is wanted.
If a greenhouse is the choice do some shopping around and check out the different types available.
If the choice is a front porch or other room with large windows space planning will be key.
This is almost always a budget choice as well.
A hydroponic setup will cost more initially and will require diligent use of water soluble plant foods.
A third consideration is lighting.
Temperature control is as vital as soil and lighting.
Plants will only germinate under certain conditions.
With no limitations the only concern is what types of plants thrive in an indoor setting.
In general anything that can be grown outside may be grown inside.
Reinventing a room and using it as an indoor garden can be quite therapeutic.
Using it as a medicinal garden could double as a way to treat an illness and a stress reliever.
