A well known Chinese proverb says: “To be happy for an hour, get drunk; to be happy for a year, fall in love; to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden”. Home is where our story begins; the place where we learn the basic values and what’s important in life. It should be full of positive vibes, warmth and coziness. Flowers definitely have the power to enhance the overall atmosphere in the house – a home without flowers is kind of cold, empty and lifeless and sometimes even the simplest plants can make it look more inviting and vibrant.
So, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers, plant your own garden! If you have the time to read this, then you surely have enough time to plant and take care of a few plants. Just follow the following simple planting tips and get ready to transform your garden into a small piece of heaven to which no one can stay indifferent.
Adopt transplants
If you do not have the patience to wait for seeds to grow into plants or you think you are not skilled enough to handle the job, do not give up just yet – you still have the option to adopt garden plants from a nursery shop. Because of the environmental changes, the first few nights are critical so it is important to give your plants some time to adjust to the new environment.
Planting
After the first few critical nights have passed, plant the garden plants. But before you start with the project, make sure you have prepared the proper environment. Good soil preparation is a must in the whole process. To make this experience a thrill to remember, team up with your kids. Beside creating an environment for a new life to grow, you they will also learn some other things – the garden is a great teacher – it teaches careful watchfulness, patience, industry and thrift, and most importantly, it teaches entire trust.
Support your plants
As your young plants grow taller, consider adding some type of support if needed. Of course, this depends on the type of the plants – some can stand alone, no matter how tall they grow, while others need a little bit support so they can stand straight. For this purpose, you can use forked twigs or other props.
After some time, if everything done right, your garden will become the heaven-like place you so much desired to create. A blooming, colourful paradise. At this point, do not forget to take your camera and make some great photos of your achievement – it will make you feel really, really good.
