A bunch of fresh flowers, a handful of healthy herbs, or some fresh lettuce picked straight from your own garden are some of life’s truly wholesome indulgences.
A simple homegrown garden allows you to express your creativity and connect with nature. The key to creating a garden bed from scratch is to start with small steps. Draw a rough sketch of your ideal garden, and then determine where you want to start the first stage of your garden. Initially you might find it helpful to choose the sunniest spot in your yard. Talk to keen gardeners for advice on the quality of your soil or test the pH level of your soil. Your neighbours, family or local nursery staff will be able to guide your plant choice based of the texture of the soil in your yard. Remove weeds and rocks, and fertilise your new garden bed to prepare for you to plant your seedlings or plants.
