Is your flower garden ready to spread its wings for the summer? The sun is out and the birds are chirping and the flowers are in full bloom. For the proud homeowner, their flower gardens are their pride and joy, and maintaining them is a relaxing and enjoyable pleasure.
You would be hard-pressed to find a flower gardener who doesn’t have a passion for the activity. From rose bushes to lilies and everything in between, the gift of flowers never disappoints. Gardeners spend their weekends taking in the rays and throwing on their gloves excited and ready to leave the workweek behind to be alone with their precious gardens.
For passionate gardeners, every tip can be a lifesaver. So, if you live and breathe your garden, let these tips help you hone your craft so you can continue to enjoy your hobby.
If you have a rainy season where you live or you just want compost on demand, consider making and saving compost. You will be “going green” and also supplying your soil with the nutrients it needs.
Seasonal rain can leave the soil empty, and compost will be essential for those times when nutrients are needed most. Compost can be created from your garden leftovers and not only saves you on the garbage disposal but also helps the environment.
Most gardeners know where to plant flowers that need a lot of suns, but they forget about shade from neighboring plants. Avoid simply planting flowers wherever you like. You may want a certain type for a specific spot, but if the flower dies due to a lack of sunlight, it won’t be worth the gamble.
If a flower needs sunlight, not only must it be planted in a certain area, it also must be planted away from towering plants that will block its sun. Before you plant, plot out the area on paper so you can visualize their placement to ensure they will have the appropriate amount of sunlight.
Don’t Cut Corners!
The corners are often a neglected area of the garden. If left untamed, weeds and greenery will expand into the area and make your garden appear smaller. To ensure your corners stay colorful and free of unwanted weeds, plant bright, colorful flowers that draw attention to the garden look as big as it is beautiful.
Do you have a nice lawn? There is nothing more beautiful than to ground a flower garden with plush, green grass. Another tip is to use natural elements to care for the soil instead of artificial substances. Flowers thrive in their natural environment and will do best with the care that mimics what nature would provide.
Additionally, don’t be afraid to add decorative features to your garden. Enhance the colors of the flowers and pull the entire landscape together with some decorative elements such as rocks, pavers, fountains, and statues. As long as they don’t interfere with the growth of the flowers, they will enhance the look of your garden.
Enjoy!
