A garden should be full of colors and scents - use whatever you can to make it more pleasing to the eye. Gardeners can use flowers, plants, and shrubs to add color and fragrance. They can also add stones, gravel, or other textural elements to give the garden a more natural appearance.
When you have your plants in a pot or in the ground, make sure to rotate them so they don't get too much of the same thing. This will help them grow more robustly and better resist Disease.
The best way to prevent damage to your plants is to take care when pruning them. Properly pruning can help keep your plants healthy and in good condition, but too much pruning can also cause damage. Remember to go slowly and carefully, taking care not to gouge or cut into the plant tissue, and avoid over-branching. When pruning, always wear gloves if possible to avoid staining your hands or the surrounding area with plant sap.
Some plants can be combined to create interesting effects in the garden. For example, combining daylilies with black-eyed Susans will create a mass of velvety buds in late spring. planting bee balms with hostas will help to shelter the hostas during cold winters.
Nature is a great source of natural resources that can be used in the garden to keep it healthy and vibrant. One way to do this is to use compost and mulch, both of which help reduce the need for chemical inputs and promote plant growth. Additionally, by using plants that are native to your area, you can create a more sustainable garden that takes advantage of natural resources rather than depleting them.
One of the popular choices for plants that tolerate partial or full sun is succulents. Succulents are plants that store water in fleshy cells, which helps these plants resist dryness and pests and diseases. Some succulents that can be used to tolerate partial or full sun include aloe, bergenia, cacti, euphorbia, hemianthus and xeriscape garden plants.
I enjoy tending my garden in the seasons, watering it, weeding it, and pruning it. I make sure to tell myself to water, weed, and prune every week so that my garden will continue to be healthy and productive.
