As far as hobbies go, gardening is relatively inexpensive, soothing and incredibly satisfying as you watch your crop grow from tiny seed to lush green leaf. And indoor gardening has increased in popularity since the pandemic, a trend that’s continued into 2024. Many have discovered the pleasure that indoor gardening can provide – even if you have a small space, you can grow a wide variety of herbs, veggies, tropical plants and more inside your home.
Simple requirements include good soil, a watering system and a decent natural or artificial light source. Gardening also has many health benefits, from reduced depression to an improved sense of well-being. But what if you don’t know your soil from your seedlings? The good news is, with the right tools and equipment and no prior experience, you too can become a proud plant parent. Here’s a roundup of some of the best gear.
