Urban homesteading is not about owning 20 acres. It is windowsill herbs, shared tools, and neighbors who swap instead of shop.
Here are 5 simple steps to start and how Plentifully helps you build a local swap network.

Missing your garden as winter sets in? Here’s a thought: try a simple indoor hydroponics project. You can grow herbs or lettuce without soil, just water, a few nutrients, and a sunny spot. It’s easier than it sounds, and you’ll be harvesting fresh greens from your countertop all winter long. 🌿

Did you know? Instead of letting fruit fall and rot, urban gleaners are rescuing tons of produce. In LA, one nonprofit has recovered over 250 million pounds of fresh fruits and veggies from backyards and markets since 2009, all donated to feed people in need. 🍊🤝

Did you know? Urban farming is a global movement. 800 million people worldwide grow food in cities, producing roughly 15–20% of the world’s food supply. From rooftop tomatoes in New York to backyard orchards in Nairobi, urban growers are feeding their communities!

Save seeds from your plants before winter. Dry them out, label them, and store in a cool, dry place (ex. tomato, pepper, or squash seeds in paper envelopes). By spring you’ll have free seeds to plant or share, carrying this year’s successes into the next. Seed saving keeps the cycle going strong.

Did you know? One out of every three bites of food you eat is thanks to pollinators 🐝🦋🦇. Bees and friends pollinate 35% of the world’s crops from apples to chocolate, essentially making a third of our food. We owe every third lunch to some busy bees! 🍏🍫

Have you heard of little free farmstands? It’s like little free libraries, but with homegrown produce. Neighbors set out their extra veggies in a small stand or box for anyone to take. It’s a simple, trust-based way to share harvest of freshly grown food accessible to everyone in the community.

Did you know? Planting flowers might actually help fight crime. A study in Philadelphia showed that greening vacant lots (think community gardens or pocket parks) led to violent crimes dropping by up to 30% nearby. Flower power for safer communities! 🌼💪

Did you know? School gardens grow more than plants - they can grow grades, too! 🌱📚
Elementary students in garden programs scored significantly higher on science tests than their non-gardening peers. Education blooms in a garden bed!

In urban gardening, one beautiful thing is neighbors often grow food not just for themselves but to share. Some even plant an extra row specifically to donate to local food banks or community fridges. That’s home-grown generosity in action, turning surplus into support for the neighborhood.

Did you know? Americans toss out 66 million tons of food each year, but compost only ~5%. 😮 The rest rots in landfills, where food waste makes up 24% of trash & generates methane greenhouse gas. Time to turn those banana peels into garden gold by composting! 🌱💪

🌞 New Urban Gardening Tip: Map the sunlight in your space! Spend a day tracking where the sun lands on your balcony or windowsill at different times. Mark full-sun areas (6+ hrs of light) versus shady spots (<3 hrs), and arrange your plants accordingly. Your plants will thank you for it! 🌱✨

Did you know? If we farmed all of NYC’s sunny rooftops, we could feed 20 million people! 🏙️🌱 All that unused roof space has huge potential – talk about penthouse produce. The sky isn’t the limit, it’s the next frontier for urban farming!

Did you know? The chickens have come home to roost in the city – literally. Over 11 million U.S. households now keep backyard chickens (nearly double the number in 2018!). That’s a whole lot of urban clucking and fresh eggs! 🐔🥚

Gardening in the city? Every drop counts. Tip: collect rainwater or even reuse the water from rinsing your veggies for your plants. Even a small rain barrel or a bucket on your balcony can save water and help keep your urban garden thriving.
