What unique gardening techniques does Natasha Nicholes share for urban gardens?

Natasha focuses on making gardening work right where you are, especially in tight city spaces like Chicago.

Some of the main techniques and approaches shared across her work include:

1. Turning backyards and vacant lots into productive community gardens
2. Growing food intensively in small spaces (vertical growing, tight spacing, succession planting)
3. Using gardening as community-building: neighbors share work, harvests, and knowledge
4. Encouraging beginners to “just plant something,” learning from failures as much as successes

Are you working with a balcony, backyard, or a community lot?
