Gardening can be a great way to relax and improve the air quality. You can even grow your own fruits and veggies and shrink your food expenses. However, the people who have gardens and back yard are outnumbered by the ones who live in small apartments. Indoor gardening can be a great solution to this problem. You live in a really tiny apartment and don‘t have enough space for containers and plants? Don‘t worry, we can solve this with these adorable tiny gardens!

1.Salt shaker terrarium - Terrariums are the latest craze among indoor gardeners. They are easy to make and easy to maintain. Even you can make this micro ecosystem.

They are perfect for terrariums because they have holes on the lids that provide air circulation and keep your plants fresh.
