Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned gardener, learning to grow microgreens indoors is one of the easiest and most rewarding projects you can take on. With just a few simple supplies—such as shallow containers (clean deli or lunch meat trays are perfect for recycling and saving money), quality seed-starting soil, a bit of water, and a source of light—you can have fresh, vibrant greens growing right on your windowsill, countertop, or under grow lights all year long. No outdoor space is needed, and even a small apartment can become your personal microgreen garden.
