Spring is quickly approaching, which means homeowners are finding more reasons to spend time outside. As inviting as a warm, sunny day can be, there is nothing more inviting than the blooming of flowers in your own personal garden. While the main purpose of a garden is to simply add beauty to your yard, savvy homeowners sometimes build gardens that have more than one purpose. Multipurpose gardens can create new ways of experiencing gardens beyond just the beauty.
Why Consider a Multipurpose Garden
What kind of person are you? Are you a person who loves bouquets? Have growing vegetables and herbs always interested you? Is there a hobby involving dye that you ever thought about trying? Nature offers many perks that humans have the ability to take advantage of. Some of these perks can be grown directly from the ground and be used as soon as the plant has matured.
Cut Gardens
We all know about the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are growable from our yards. As a result, vegetable gardens will always be in demand. However, gardens created with purpose of making bouquets and arrangements are not as common. If you are the type of person that buys flowers for a table or counter, you should consider growing a cut garden. Simply adding flowers that can be cut and displayed can remove the need of many trips to a flower shop. There is also a strong feeling of accomplishment every time you look at the flowers inside of your home. Who doesn’t want to feel that?
Multipurpose gardens will require a little bit more love and care in comparison to a basic garden. This is why you must know exactly what your goals are and the plants that fit with your needs. Some of the factors that need to be takin into consideration are:
– The size of the land
– The space between plants for proper growth
– Blooming cycles
– Anti-weed measures
