Despite it still being winter, we believe it is smart to already have a spring mindset with the right ideas ready to go. This way, when spring hits, you are not caught flat footed because your gardening game plan is already set. Now it’s time to go out and make it happen. With hopes that the transition from winter to spring will be a clean one for you, we here at Vivid Earth Land Designs are here to help you with all of your gardening needs. So, here are some tips that we believe will help anyone in their gardening journey; especially for those who are just embarking on theirs.
Getting the Lay of The Land
Your gardening space can be seen as a battlefield. As we’ve read many times in school, old war generals of the past would use maps to help plan and strategize the best way to take down their enemies. In gardening, there are strong similarities. How much space do you have to work with? How much sunlight does your backyard receive? What is the climate in your state? Which flowers work best for your climate? Are the flowers that you like even available in your region? These are the types of questions you need to ask yourself before a single flower is bought. This helps prevent money being wasted and puts you in the best position for gardening success.
Never Stop Mulching
We here at Vivid Earth Land Designs are big fans of mulching. We believe that mulching can be beneficial in helping to foster a strong growing environment. Mulching helps fight against diseases and can provide great protection against harsh temperatures. When water is added through rain or manually with a hose, the mulch helps to create the perfect moisture environment. Evaporation is slowed and more of the water is retained. Also, mulching adds a creative look to the plants as it lays among what has been planted. If the task of mulching is too strenuous, we can help with that! Feel free to contact us.
Jazzing Up Your Space with Accessories
Do not be afraid to tap into your creativity by adding gardening accessories. Vases, stone animal statues, benches, bird baths, and more have the ability to inject a pop of originality into your yard space. With accessories, the goal is complimenting your flowers. The flowers will remain the focal point and the accessories act as the finishing touches. Add it all together and you have something truly magnificent on your hands!
