The moveable garden: Gardening tips for renters

Share this post:

While you may not want to invest in fixed garden beds, or large indoor trees, there are a bunch of ways to grow your own veggies and green up your space!

Let’s run through some ideas on how to create a garden that is mobile and easy to take with you when you move on.

For renters, there will always come a time when you have to get the cardboard boxes and packing tape out and move. Whether that’s in six months or several years, it’s still important to make the space your own. Plants are such an effective way to make a rental house a home because they liven up and personalise any situation.

But there isn’t much point in spending your time and money raising plants that you won’t be able to take with you. Basically, when you’re gardening outdoors, you’ll want to avoid planting directly into the soil or constructing permanent fixtures like garden beds, borders and fixed compost bins.

A similar principle applies for indoor gardening, where the focus should be on small to medium plants in lightweight containers. You don’t want to amass too many plants, or too many big plants, that will prove difficult to pack up and move when the time comes.

Moving plants can be difficult, expensive and also cause stress and damage to the plants themselves. So, here are some simple, inexpensive ways to make your garden mobile and ready to move.
