Why Grow a Garden?

A garden is an organized place, generally outside, dedicated to the cultivation, displaying, and appreciation of various types of flora and fauna. The single most distinguishing feature defining even the wildest of gardens is control. The gardener wants to know that the garden does not become a menace to society or detract from the neighborhood. Even the most devoted gardener knows the joys of planting, cultivating, and enjoying his or her garden. The gardener also knows that some gardens are more enjoyable than others. A good gardener knows that his or her garden is worth all the time and effort spent on it.

GARDEN

One of the joys of gardening is using well-placed rocks, bricks, gravel, stones, planters, flower beds, trellises, etc. to create a beautiful array of plantings, whether used for the production of edible vegetables, fruits, or ornamental flowers or as a habitat for birds, insects, and small animals. An attractive rock garden will blend perfectly with any type of home. A well-planned rock garden can include both synthetic and natural materials. Bricks, stone, and sand provide the basic building blocks of a rock garden. The best of these materials will be chosen according to the climate in which the area is located.

One of the most popular locations for GARDEN is in the kitchen garden. Many people say that the GARDEN is like having a garden inside the kitchen! In fact, it’s no different at all – except that you have an indoor garden where plants and flowers are grown primarily for their beauty and color rather than for their many uses, such as food crops. However, if the plants and flowers used in a kitchen garden need regular watering, pruning, weeding, or fertilization, the GARDEN becomes more than just an indoor garden.

Some types of herbs can be grown inside a GARDEN; others prefer an outdoor garden, especially herbs that grow tall and have multiple leaves. Plants for a GARDEN in a kitchen include basil, mint, Rosemary, oregano, parsley, chives, dill, thyme, tarragon, marjoram, basil, sage, basil, chervil, lemon balm, mint, chervil, lemon verbena, Rosemary, lavender, mint, sage, and most others. The list of plant choices for a garden in a kitchen is endless.

GARDENING has become very popular in recent years and there are many reasons for its success. In the past, GARDENING was viewed as unsavory due to the fact that most people raised animals, such as pigs, chickens, and turkeys, for their meat. With the advent of more environmentally conscious individuals, however, GARDENING is gaining in popularity. Vegetables grown in a GARDEN, such as lettuce and herbs, provide fresh food while being raised without using animals, which means that they are considered healthier and taste better than traditional grocery store produce.

In addition to providing fresh food, plants grown in a GARDEN can attract wildlife. Herbivores, such as deer and squirrels, will find your garden because wild plants provide cover for shelter. Other wildlife that will be attracted to your GARDEN are songbirds, chipmunks, rabbits, and bats. Whether you raise vegetables for consumption at home or sell for profit, a GARDEN will give you years of pleasure.
