For some, working with soil evokes nostalgia for childhood summers, smelling thorny roses in bloom and plucking ripe tomatoes off the vine. For others, it might recall memories of a specific person. Aloe vera, for example, will always remind me of my grandmother, who grew the the medicinal plant to sooth my sunburns and scratches. Gardening<\/a> is the sort of activity everyone\u2014green thumb or not\u2014can have a relationship with. (It\u2019s also a hobby<\/a> worth picking up if you need a mood boost: Numerous studies<\/a> have shown that those who garden are happier, healthier, and live a whole lot longer.)<\/p>\n

This is all well and good, but if you\u2019re like me and live in an urban environment<\/a> with no traditional garden to speak of, you might be stuck on a few logistics\u2014most urgently, where to put it all. \u201cSmaller spaces can actually be a gift,\u201d explains Gardenheir<\/a> co-founder Alan Calpe, \u201cbecause you can truly transform any space quite quickly.\u201d Whether you\u2019re working with a fire escape or a humble stoop<\/a>, Calpe argues that gardening is about working creatively through your own unique parameters. \u201cYou can always start small,\u201d Teresa Kao agrees. (She\u2019s the garden manager at The French Laundry Culinary Garden<\/a>.) \u201cBegin with just one planter and build from there.\u201d It takes a little creativity, but small garden ideas can crop up from anywhere.<\/p>\n
