That was because I was so used, to living in places where I had huge outdoor gardens, so bringing in the plants indoors was not something of which I had thought!Later on, living in cities, and apartments, where the nearest outdoor garden was 25 stories below, and just one tiny patch of green, in a concrete jungle, I began to think that yes miniature gardens was one of the best ways in which I could bring a bit of greenery right inside my limited pigeonholed letterbox of a living space.
