3. Finding Space

Louise Hough inherited a passion for gardening from her mother. So while living in a third-floor apartment in London, England, she decided to plant a mini-garden on her balcony.

Louise went to the library and searched online for ideas on how to garden with minimal space. With help from a friend, she put baskets and planter boxes on her balcony wall and before long, vegetable plants and flowers were thriving.

"I have loved going out each morning to water the plants and watch them grow," Louise says. "The flowers I have grown are stunning, and it has been lovely inviting friends over to eat the things I have grown. You can always manage to grow a little something with the space you have!"
