Let's Learn to Garden
Gardening is all about growing and changing. This site is dedicated to all gardeners old and new who want to grow their garden knowledge along with their flowers and vegetables.
Flower gardening is where most new gardeners begin. There are many kinds of flowers, but only three main types. Annual flowers that will only last one summer, perennial flowers that will return every year, and biennial flowers that take two years to finally bloom.
Vegetable gardening gives us a chance to grow our own food. The taste of a garden ripe tomato is something everyone should experience. All vegetables that are grown in the garden and picked at their perfect point of ripeness have a flavor that most grocery stores can't match.
Organic gardening has become a popular way to garden, the use of pesticides has done untold damage to our environment. By using organic methods, we can grow foods that are healthier, for both us and the planet.
Water gardening is a specialized type of gardening. Water gardens are used to add a sense of movement to the garden. Some water gardens are elaborate with waterfalls, ponds, goldfish and plants that grow in or
near water naturally. There are also small container water gardens that can sit on a patio or deck and have just a few aquatic plants in them.
Pruning trees and shrubs is an important aspect of gardening. Flowering shrubs need to be pruned at the proper time to bloom correctly; if this is not done, your flowering bush could produce only leaves instead of
beautiful flowers. Fruit trees need to be pruned yearly to produce an abundant crop, and pruning young trees to train them will give your tree a long and healthy life.
Attracting wildlife to your garden is simple if you remember the basics. All wild creatures great and small need food, water, and shelter. Putting up a bird feeder, birdbath, and a birdhouse is an easy way to do this. Providing these three things will assure that you will have many new friends in your garden.
Gardening is a way for people to feel connected to the earth. Planting a flower or vegetable garden and watching it grow, gives us an opportunity to learn from nature. Growing flowering shrubs will add beauty to your garden in their season, and watching the birds fluttering around your feeders and birdbaths year round will let you know that your gardening efforts are appreciated.
