Lucky for you, this article shows you different ways you can transform your garden.  So, be sure to finish reading this article and take some knowledge as you read along. This is worth your time!

#1: Water Your Plants Frequently

Using a sprinkler won’t be enough to keep the plants and flowers alive, because although it does its job of sprinkling water on the plants, it might not be enough to reach the roots. It’s a no brainer that these are the parts of the plant that truly absorbs water. To ensure that your plants receive the right amount that they need, make sure to use the best retractable garden hose you can find in the market to avoid leaving the roots dry. Also, make sure that the plants get soaked up to ensure that the water penetrates the four to six inches of soil, and reach the roots.

#2: Incorporate Flowers Of Different Colors

Choosing flowers for your garden is one of the most manageable and most fun tasks because there are no sets of rules to follow. Any color chosen can blend in well with the others. Keeping them fresh and thriving can be a challenge, especially for those who don’t have a green thumb. However, there isn’t a need to buy flowers only because there are herbs and vegetables that also have beautiful. Here are some examples plus the colors of the petals:

• Basils: white and purple
• Chives: purple
• Dill: yellow flowers
• Pineapple sage: red
• Spring onions: white
• Thyme: pale pink and pale purple
• Daisies and Sunflowers

#3: Make A Wide Pathway

Since you’re starting to make the garden a family-friendly area, make sure that the walkways and pathways are big enough to accommodate a person or two. Space should not be less than five feet. It will give family members and visitors a hard time going to and from the garden if the walkway is too narrow. Also, remember that the plants surrounding the walkway should not be a tall species because the taller the plants, the bigger your walkway should be to avoid feeling restricted when passing through.

#4: Set Up Areas For Lounging

What’s the use of a great garden if you can’t sit down and admire the beauty it offers? Set up a few chairs and tables in a preferred area in the garden where you can host barbecue parties or tea time with friends. The dining set placed in the yard doesn’t have to be perfect; it only has to have the capacity to accommodate at least five people and still have enough elbow space for everyone. The point of setting up chairs and tables is to be able to host outdoor parties and get-togethers.

#5: Arrange All Garden Tools In A Stylish Way

It’s unpleasant to see garden tools lying around because not only does it become an eyesore, it can also pose serious risks for accidents. If you don’t have much garden space to set up a tool shed, then it’s best to make a basket or container in which you can collect and store everything. Not only does it make your garden look cleaner, but it also makes it easier for you to find the tools you need because you’re sure they’re all in one commonplace.

#6: Leave No Room For Weeds

Weeds are one of the biggest hindrances in gardening. They compete with the main plant, and they also eat up nutrients that are supposed to help other plants grow. Instead of using compost plants, opt to use alternatives such as mulch because it has better benefits, plus its also more practical. Or you can also manually remove the weeds, but that would be a tedious and time-consuming task.

#7: Place Your Plants In Different Pots And Containers

The beauty of gardening is that you can make the most out of everything, even the used and old equipment. Arranging plants and flowers in different pots can instantly change how the garden looks. If you don’t have extra money to buy new pots, paint the old ones instead. On the other hand, find a container wherein you can put a flower bed or several plants and puncture holes through them to have a makeshift pot. Again, pain these containers with your preferred colors and designs.

#8: Draw Attention To A Centerpiece

Whether its a statue or a dining set or a centerpiece comprising of beautiful flowers, you can arrange the environment and surrounding areas to draw attention. For example, you have a centerpiece of a woman holding different plants. You can arrange everything around this woman so that visitors and family members instantly notice her upon entering the garden.

#9: Arrange The Lights At Night

A garden won’t be complete without lights. It’s vital to think of how you can showcase your garden with the proper usage and selection of lighting. You can set up small lamp posts, or you can use string lights that you can spread throughout the garden. The main goal is to illuminate and at the same time, subtly show off how beautiful your plants are even at night.
