It can be, but doesn't really need to be. Like most things, you can spend a small fortune on all the latest gadgets that promise you perfect pumpkins, or magnificent greenhouses that look superb on a huge estate. But the reality is you don't need to spend much at all. A row of bent coathangers with a sheet of polythene makes an excellent polytunnel cloche for early vegetables, and you can buy some very reasonably priced tools in garden centres or DIY stores. Many seeds can be collected from your plants and saved from one year to another.You'll also find friends and neighbours keen to share and swap. These gardening pages will give you lots of tips on how to garden without breaking the bank. ... more

Gardening is only expensive as you want to make it.  Growing up as a young lad I did not really have any money to spend on gardening.  However I lived in the country and I dug up an transplanted many wild plants to create a nice sitting area.  Everything to Mount Laurel, Jack-In-The-Pulpit, Daisys, Violets, Wild Geraniums, etc.  Now I grow many heirloom varities of vegetables (non-hybrids) which I ave the seeds from and plant the following year.  I also start many plants from cuttings such as:  Rosemary, Cuban Oregano, French Tarragon, etc.  So you can garden with very little investment of money on your part, now time, that is a different story.
