One should observe plants around them in order to get ideas for planting. Some plants can be used for landscaping, such as succulents, cacti and propagated ivy. Others may be used in the garden for their ornamental properties, such as roses or lilies.
Different seasons have their own unique attractions for visitors to enjoy. Summer is when the days are long and hot, and there's always a breeze blowing. Fall can be magnificent with the change of colors in the leaves, and winter can be cozy with a warm jacket and good book. Flowers, foliage and fruits all have different seasons which one can enjoy according to their own schedule. Some people enjoy flowers in the summertime, others might prefer to go outside for a hike during fall, while others might want to visit a botanical garden or orchard during winter.
Home gardens offer a variety of weather conditions, including rain, sun and snow. Garden visitors can find the conditions they are seeking no matter what the day may bring.
A garden should have a variety of plants to attract different types of insect, birds and other wildlife. This will help to improve the overall biodiversity of the garden and make it more enjoyable to explore.
When choosing plants for your garden, it is important to take into account their color, shape and size. For example, if you have a lawn that is mostly green, it is best to choose plants that are green as well; on the other hand, if you have a garden made up of blue flowers and gray rocks, it might be better to plant blue flowers and smaller plants next to the rocks, and plant larger plants in the center of the garden. Additionally, different plants will compliment each other's color and shape in different ways; for example, daffodils contrast beautifully with tulips because they are white and have a bulbous shape, while roses contrast beautifully with petunias because they are red and have a flower bud-like shape.
We use plant tags to identify the plants in our garden. The tag says the name of the plant, what type of plant it is, where it was grown, and the date it was picked. This information is very helpful when we need to find a specific plant or when we want to share a gardening tip with someone else.
