Outdoor garden arrangement

Updated: Jun 11, 2021


If you're only starting out on gardening, you're wanting to decorate your home garden with various types of plants like salad, greens, fruits plants, or decorative plants.... but you're unsure where to begin. Here below, I have some basic tips: 1/ Determine which areas in your garden have the most, average, or little direct sunlight

This is the most important thing to do in the whole process. Knowing your own space will help you choose which plants that will fit best in your garden condition. 2/ Start small Sometimes we can get a little too excited with new plans, hence be overboard with purchasing tons of plants of seeds home without knowing or having any experiences yet. There isn't anything wrong about that, but you'll get frustrated soon when many plants don't thrive well enough, and your little garden soon becomes a mess. We all don't want that. So start small and easy first!

3/ Plants arrangements - Most direct sunlight: Prioritize flower plants of fruits plants that emerge from flower buds. Most flower plants need 6-8 direct sunlight a day to bloom and thrive. Some examples include: blue daze, blue pea, jasmine, chili, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers... - Medium direct sunlight: Choose plants that require little less sun, like rosemary, thyme (Still needs 5-6 hours direct sunlight a day), basil, oregano, or some vine plants... - Little direct sunlight/partial shade: Mints, herb plants, or decorative leaf plants like monstera, snake plants... - No direct sunlight: Choose plants that will do fine in the shade like salad greens, (indoor) decorative plants like peace lily, Schefflera octophylla, money plant...
