    Hi Everyone
    I am a novice gardener who has a very small garden with no sunlight lol!
    I have a herb garden on the go already and looking for interesting tips to see what I could do with a small space preferably pot based as I have very little soil!
    Thanks :spinning:

    Hello
    I have very little soil area in the garden. It is a paved space so most things apart from a few fruit trees and strawberry plants are in pots. I have a herb garden already, wondered what other things would be ideal in pots in an area with no sunlight.
    Thank you:new:

    Can you take and upload a photo?

    No sun at all, not for any part of the day?

    Hi @Tea Rose ,

    ::sign0016:

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner:)

    I also grow everything in pots. You'd be surprised what will grow happily away in a pot
    It would help if you told us which direction your garden faced, as even a North facing garden gets some good light. There is a big difference between having no sunlight and having good light without sun.

    Thank you for the welcome.:) I am not sure which way my garden faces (sorry) There is no direct sunlight as it is surrounded by huge trees overhanging it. I have never seen direct sunlight in it really. There is also a summer House which further blocks the sun possibly...
    I have a long raised pot with herbs in it. I have another long pot that I am going to paint and plant some more herbs. Its nice to get ideas.
    Thanks:spinning:
