You don’t have to have a degree in horticulture or have professional experience to have a beautiful and successful garden. There are all kinds of gardens and gardeners. You can make it your goal to maintain a vegetable garden or just to tend an aesthetically pleasing flower garden. Either way, when you are starting your first simple garden, here are a few essential things to keep in mind:
Make the Decision
The first thing you need to do is make the decision: What sort of garden will you have? First decide whether you would like a flower, vegetable, or herb garden. Every garden has its own special needs. Gardens need specific fertilizers and treatments.
It is important to consider where your flower garden or vegetables will be placed within the landscape of your yard. Will the plots be in completely separate spots, or will they be combined? Also, how will the climate affect your garden? Be sure to keep rainfall, animals, and sun exposure in mind when you decide on a plot for your garden. With a little research on your local climate, you can make the best decisions for your garden.
Make Your Plant Choices
If your garden is going to be located in a place with an extended blooming season, then try to select plants that bloom for long periods of time. This way you can keep your garden as beautiful as possible for as long as possible. If your blooming season is pretty short, try selecting annuals that bloom early in the season.
Are you attempting to plant tropical plants in the desert? Have you planned for a detailed cactus garden landscape in a lush, humid area? Unfortunately, neither of these scenarios will work out very well. Tropical plants need a lush atmosphere with plenty of rainfall. However, in an area with an abundance of rainfall, cactus plants may suffer from rotting roots. When you select the plants to begin your garden, be sure to consider your climate.
Having your own garden can be fun and rewarding, but be sure to select your plants wisely!
