Bring life to a garden's surroundings with easily accessible plants. Easily accessible plants can entertain and delight - bringing life to a gardenâs surroundings.
A garden should be designed with ease of use and comfort in mind. When choosing a garden layout, it is important to consider the size and shape of your backyard, as well as the abilities and limitations of your visitors. To make your garden more accessible and comfortable for both you and your guests, consider installing a path or steppingstones leading to the garden, or placing benches nearby where people can sit and enjoy the scenery.
When deciding what plants to plant in your garden, think about the environment in which you will be planting them. Some plants are more suited to a native environment while others can tolerate more drought. Choose plants that will thrive in your climate and soil conditions. Some good choices for native plants are California poppies, day lilies, oleander, and toyon. Other choices that can be drought tolerant include artemisia, ceanothus, lantana, and petunias.
A sensory garden is a great way to enjoy the natural world, and also to stimulate the senses. Fragrant flowers, tree bark, or other textures can be included to help stimulate the senses.
Beautiful flowers and vegetables can add color and life to a well-maintained garden, whether they are ornamental plants or vegetables. Planting flowers and vegetables together in a garden can help to create a natural habitat for pollinators, and can provide food for herbivores. Additionally, tasteful flowers and vegetables can add beauty and interest to a garden.
over time, my garden has grown and changed. first, it was just a few containers, but now it's a big plot with lots of different plants. over the course of the year, I've noticed that some plants have grown taller than others, and some have grown more leaves. I've also seen new flowers blooming in the garden! In this journal, I'll track all the changes in my garden over time, so I can see how it's growing and changing.
