I want to have both breeds. However I have limited space to make an outdoor edible garden enclosure for them. Could I house both of them in the same space without worrying about problems with the two of them?

No. My rule of thumb is - if there would never be able to have contact with each other in the wild, they shouldn't be in the same habitat in captivity. They may make each other sick. Besides that, if you only have room for one enclosure, then you only have room for one tortoise. If you can't divide the enclosure in half because it would make it too small, then it's not big enough for two tortoises.
