When planting trees, shrubs or flowers in layers, new growth can continually take place. This will help to keep the plants healthy and less likely to suffer from pests and diseases. Layers should include: soil, roots, leaves, stem and finally blooms or fruits.
When you are pruning your garden, make sure that you are doing it correctly so that the plants don't get damaged. Prune regularly to keep the garden looking tidy and free of unsightly branches and spindles.
Water plants well, but don't overdo it - too much water can lead to root rot. Over-watering can also cause leaves to yellow and drop, and cause the plant to become weak and stunted.
A garden should be welcoming, always smelling of fresh flowers. The gardener should take care to water the plants regularly and fertilize them when necessary. The garden should be clean and free of debris so that the plants can enjoy a tidy environment.
A great garden should be minimally busy and have a peaceful atmosphere. A garden should be alive with the sound of water flowing and the songs of birds. A great garden should invite people in to relax, enjoy the view and take in the smells of nature.
Different plants and flowers can be used to create a balanced and natural look. Consider, for example, the use of plants in pots or garden beds. These can be filled with flowers that bloom throughout the season, such as daisies, marigolds, petunias, andlyssum. Asters and sunflowers are also good choices for a natural look due to their long flowering periods. Additionally, roses can be combined with other plants to create a more complex landscape design. For example, roses can be planted next to lilies or Dianthus flowers.
