In the past, SE has told us that intercross gardening is not possible in housing interiors because it's tied to weather that does not exist inside of instances. (interiors always show Fair Skies as a placeholder regardless of what the weather condition in the ward is)

Intercross gardening is one of those features that is "you think you do but you probably really don't". There's a reason why you can tour wards and find few gardens in use, and even fewer set up for intercross. Most players who give it a try will abandon it since it requires daily log in and gets quite annoying with RNG depending on what seed you're trying to obtain.

If you just want the general ability to grow things from seeds, that can be done with flowerpots. Any seed will grow in a flowerpot, including the decorative flower seeds that can't be grown in garden patches.
