Space can be a big problem in a big city, apartments, and other small areas. A table top container garden could be the answer you have been looking for. Many people love living in a big city, but are discouraged when they have no room for any type of plant specimens. Do you have a small balcony area, or a tiny spot on your rooftop condo? The great aspect of a table top garden is the containers or pots can be any size. This can be a very simple and inexpensive type of garden project.

You can plant your favorite vegetables, herbs, or flowers on the table, and enjoy the wonderful aroma and color of each individual plant. The picture below shows you seven different plants. Three are in large pots and four are in different sizes. There is enough space for you to sit down and enjoy your favorite meal, and reap the benefits of a few fresh vegetables and herbs.

The four smaller containers can be different sizes. In the first photo, Sage, Rosemary, Banana Pepper, and Lemon Balm were planted. In the three larger containers, there are two Big Boy Tomato plants and Cinnamon Basil. All of these plants provide a great look and taste. There are many different species you can use for a table top garden. In the spices and herb section, there are many possibilities for your limited space.



Another idea is to plant some small evergreen shrubs in containers on your table. In the gallery of plants section, there a variety of small shrubs and flowers to also consider. Just like any outside garden, a table top container garden should be planned out. Your space is limited, so consider what size containers would fit, yet allowing you to enjoy that special time outdoors.

Pick out your favorite colors that would coordinate with your small space. If you live in an apartment building, create an atmosphere with your containers that reflect a specific theme, such as a tropical or whimsical.
