Types of Gardens

You may think that a garden either contains flowers or vegetables, but there are so many more options.  Use your creativity to make your yard amazing.

 Here are just a few ideas

Flower gardens:  Planted for beauty, aroma and enjoyment.  Who doesn’t love a flower garden?

Butterfly gardens:  Also called a pollinator’s garden will attract and support beneficial insects.

Container gardening: Not all plants have to be planted in the ground.  Container gardens are great where space is limited or if you need to bring the plants indoors when cold weather sets in.

Vegetables, fruits & herbs:  This is one of the most common types of gardens and one that provides you with goodies that you can eat.

Rain garden:  These are typically planted in areas where there is a lot of runoff and potential for erosion.  These plants like to have “wet feet” and will hold the soil in place.

Water gardens:  Imagine waterlilies, lotus and other aquatic plants.  These are great for ponds and lakes.

Fairy garden:  Attract fairies, elves and gnomes with a cute garden containing not only plants, but little houses and other adorable items.

Children’s garden:  This is a fun place for your kids as well as a learning opportunity.  Use plants that are tough in case the kids forget to be gentle.  Show them how to grow things.

Formal garden:  This is usually very structured with well-groomed plants, benches, fountains, and paths.

Zen garden:  Enjoy the peace and come here to meditate. 

 

There are so many ways to garden. Use your imagination.
