Design your garden with your own way

Gardening is the practice of growing flowers, fruits, vegetables, and even exotic plants or herbs. Not only does it make a home and yard more attractive, but it is also a very therapeutic hobby. Gardening is fun because it can use a variety of tools, designs, and techniques. Gardening can be done in planters or in the ground, from seeds or from pre-made plants, and isn't only about plants, a good garden has an eye catching landscape and myriad of decorations and flourishes with plant friendly bugs and worms. Is your garden lacking in charm or missing something? Use these tips to make this year’s garden your best yet, one you can be proud of, and look forward to enjoying a cup of tea in the morning.

-Decorative Rocks

Gardening rocks are a cute touch whether it's stepping stones for larger gardens or fill in rocks for side gardens around houses. There are rocks/stones of different textures, shapes, and sizes to fit the style of your garden.

-Show Your Creative Side

Rock painting is fun, inexpensive, and easy to do. All you need are stones, paint, and a brush. This is similar to the personalized message because the painting is unique to you. You can paint animals, colors, faces, anything you can think of. Those with a higher art skill can show off their talent and paint more detailed things and with glue you can even add gems and glitter.

-Old Boots As Flower Holders

-Cement Planters

-Chalkboard Signs

Use a chalkboard as a way to write messages for your garden. Make a cute or funny message, or a check list of plants to be cultivated/watered/etc.

-Miniature Fairy Gardens

Miniature fairy gardens are fun and adorable. In some regions, miniature fairy gardens are called, enchanted gardens. Regardless, they are a delight to create. Who says you are too big to play with fairies? Try it and you just may be hooked to a new hobby.

-Welcome Garden Signage

Signs that greet guests with a big "Welcome" can fit easily into your garden. I have a small one embedded in the ivy in my front seating area, plus a larger one in the backyard. This one has a birdhouse attached to it, so it serves double duty.

-Garden Statues

Garden statues are just cute. I have a few little dog characters on the front steps, and a solar powered cat nearby. There are a few frogs and a turtle in the back. In one of my back areas of the yard, a little boy statue rests on the edge of a decorative wheelbarrow.

-Vertical Gardens

Chances are your backyard accommodates your pool or the kids’ playground equipment and there's little room for much else. Your neighbors are just a few feet away in all directions. You want to feed your family good wholesome foods but the price of organic fruits and vegetables can really put a strain on the grocery budget, especially in today's economy.

The only way you can be sure is if you do it yourself. You control the watering, the pesticides, preservatives (you won't have any), insects, etc. and you know what you are giving your family is pure, organic and safe to eat. But there's that space issue again.
