The garden needs sunlight, rain, and winter to grow. In the summer, the sun helps plants get photosynthesis going. The water from the rain helps to keep the plants moist, and the cold winter weather helps to freeze away any diseases or pests.
Gardens should have flowers, trees and plants to reflect the seasons. Spring has tulips, daffodils and irises; Summer has roses, lilies and carnations; Fall has apples, pears and pumpkins; and Winter has weeping willows, holly trees and berberis.
A good garden should be easy to care for - gardens need weeding, watering and pruning to look their best. A well-maintained garden will provide pleasure year-round and will help to conserve water and plant nutrients.
A garden should be comfortable to spend time in, whether sitting, lying or walking. The plants and flowers should be at a comfortable height for both short and tall people. There should be a variety of textures and colours to keep the eye interested, and a pleasant smell should also be present. A garden should also be easy to care for - it should not require too much work to keep it looking great.
Different colors, shapes, sizes, and textures of plants add interest to a garden. Gardeners can use plants that are native to the region or specific to their climate. Planting flowers in containers also adds color and fragrance to a garden.
The right plants will give your garden beauty and joy. It is important to choose the right ones for your garden, and to prepare the soil well. Planting choices will depend on what type of vegetation you want in your garden; think about what you have access to, your climate, and what you would like to see growing. Some good plant choices for a garden in most climates include: roses, tulips, daffodils, hydrangeas, lilies, iris, peonies, fir trees, and junipers.
