Choosing a garden

If you are new to gardening or landscaping, you might feel overwhelmed with the many options that are available.  Every garden and gardener needs a plan.  You want to start with what type of garden you want. There are several types of gardens that you can put in your yard.  If you want something that just looks pretty in your yard, try a flower garden.  You can fill this area with a multitude of plants that grow each year. They will also provide lots of colors and most are hardy and versatile.  Most of these will also make delightful and beautiful fresh cuttings that you can turn into arrangements for your home.  Research that perennials are best for your climate area.  You can also plant a vegetable garden.  These will just as beautiful as most of them produce flowers before they bear their vegetables.  They will also give you something delicious that you can cook with or eat raw.  This is also a great type of garden for the whole family to get involved.

Some gardens take more effort, but it will be worth it!  You can even have some of these plants indoors to give you year round fresh vegetables! A harder garden would be to try a fruit garden.  These are fairly high maintenance and pests, and other animals are often drawn to the area. The soil needs to be adjusted, and they are fertilized at the right times to ensure proper growth and development. The work will be all worthwhile once you are enjoying fresh fruits! Every garden need to have a plan and make sure your schedule allows the right amount of time to fully care for and maintain the area.  If you cannot just pick one, do not worry as you can have multiple types of gardens in your landscape area!
