It is, though for people who have less land, it's possible to convert a front yard into growing area (if you're not in an HOA that doesn't allow that, good reason to attempt to get on the board to change that rule, if you do).

For apartment dwellers, there's also the option of balcony gardening, which we have a community for at !balconygardening@slrpnk.net :)

I think the video is a good source of practical knowledge of how to begin gardening, but it will need to be modified for each individuals circumstances.
