All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Oh sure! Just to add to what @Butterbee said, there's also "square foot gardening" (not for lazy gardeners), Ruth Stout/straw bale gardening (lazy adjacent), and lots of approaches to tweak any style you choose.
I think container gardening is readily approachable, especially if you use larger pots to grow several plants with similar needs together. If your preference is more towards "set and forget" then roughing up a patch of soil, sowing wildflower seeds, and covering with a light mulch like straw or hay is a good way to start dabbling. Just avoid the "wildflower mix" bags at the big box stores, because they're probably not designed for your region. A mom & pop nursery is more likely to have species for your area.
