Small-Space Gardening

Season 12 Episode 1207 | 26m 46s

No space is too small or too oddly shaped for a thriving garden! Whether you have a zero-radius lot, an intimate patio, or just a balcony several stories off the ground, you might be surprised at some of the clever design tricks you can use to create growing space almost anywhere. From cramped and narrow side yards to growing vertically along flat walls, nothing is off-limits.
