Are you interested in starting a garden but don’t know where to begin? You have only a little bit of land and you’re probably asking yourself, “Can I  grow a garden in my garage?” Save money by growing your produce right in your garage! Garage Design Works answers your questions and shows you how to bring this Orlando garage idea to life.

Plants
Don’t get too excited yet. Let’s start with what plans you can actually grow in your garage garden. Make sure you do some research first on what plans do better with what temperatures. Some plants are meant to be dormant during certain seasons. Start simple with leafy greens, such as kale, cabbage, and spinach. Broccoli, peas, and even Brussel sprouts are good choices as well.

Space
Be sure you have the right space for your garden. There are many ways you can set up your garden. If you don’t want to use the whole area, consider just a small section near a window. Install wall systems like shelving units to display the planters. Set up a row of pots or create a raised bed on your wall.

Lighting
Of course, lighting is one of the most important things to consider when starting a garden. Does your garage have windows? If it does, then set up your plant near it to get the most natural light. This obviously depends on the plant, though! If you don’t have any windows or natural light, you can install artificial lights. Depending on the project, you can purchase grow light products, such as bulbs.

Temperature
Stabilizing temperature is done to find out if you need to heat up or cool down the space for the specific types of plants you are growing. Go to your local gardening store to find a thermometer you can place in your garage. For efficiency, be sure to check the temperature periodically. If it’s too hot,
install a fan to get some airflow.
