Living in a flat in London makes it tricky, but we are (attempting) to grow chillies and had a pineapple plant at one point! It didn't last very long...

Bees are very importing for our urban life. I know that many public buildings in copenhagen is used to put bees on. I have a small garden that could be used for the purpose. Have not yet tried, but considering it strongly.

Nature has a power that acts upon us . . . a garden is alive (at least at certain times of the year) and is continuously demonstrating the powers of creation . . . . brings us cleaner air, anchors the soil, engages our senses . . . what's not to like? (i do prefer to encourage the small creepy crawly things to stay in the garden . . . )

Do you grow your own veg?
Q

First year of 'owning' an allotment. We have not had to buy any veg for a while now. We have a great crop of sweetcorn, pumpkins and bountiful butternut squashes. Just picking the toms now and will be roasting them to freeze for sauce. We also have rescued fifteen hens and enjoy fresh eggs. Growing your own is so rewarding and we give surplus away to our neighbours too.

Alas the armandii is toxic to dogs (think I might have one at the front, eek) However I did find 6 others that are evergreen and flower in winter which would be fab to brighten up the drab season. Not sure how fast growing they are though

I have a large fig tree on my patio and lots of veg I plant in fish boxes picked up from the beach. I had a large vegetable garden but this gets smaller every year because I can't resist planting fruit trees - so far I have a 3 apple trees, pear, plum, cherry and apricot trees. Currently cropping onions, leeks, artichokes, rhubarb, potatoes, salad leaves and watercress from the garden - the strawberries will soon be ready to eat. Lots of herbs outside the kitchen door as well.

I'm wary of growing veg with two cats using the garden. So for me it's old English roses: red, pink and white, the more 'double' the better! Also jasmine, hyndrangeas, ceanothus, peonies, foxgloves, ferns in the shade, and lots of tulips and bluebells in the spring. It's a tiny urban space though!

@Wallpapered: Thats an amazing idea!! We definitely need to get a little garden in the Houzz office to pick from for our lunches.

I'm very new to the wonderful world of gardening. This year however I have experimented with flowers, herbs, tomatoes, broccoli, yellow beans, courgettes and broad beans. Fingers crossed for some produce :)

And lavender, bay, and nettles. Nettles can be boiled and eaten like spinach, apparently.

Fruit Trees, and some Herbs & Vegetables. Nothing more satisfying than growing your own and reaping the rewards.
