2-A shoe rack makes a great vertical herb garden

Sometimes, you might want to have a garden but you just don’t have the yard space. The secret is to build up instead of out — and this super simple shoe rack makes it easy to do just that.

3-You can easily redesign your yard after your plants are mature

Many gardeners find that once their plants are in the ground, they suddenly reconsider how they want to layout their yard. The good news is that you can easily transplant by first putting your plants inside individual planters and then into the ground.

4-Use PVC pipe to fertilize dense plants

Dense plants can be a challenge to water. Why? Because their root systems are well-protected and difficult to reach. You can use a small bit of PVC pipe to help guide water all the way down to the roots.

5-Use zip ties to secure your climbing plants

The nature of gardening

Gardening in its ornamental sense needs a certain level of civilization before it can flourish. Wherever that level has been attained, in all parts of the world and at all periods, people have made efforts to shape their environment into an attractive display. The instinct and even enthusiasm for gardening thus appear to arise from some primitive response to nature, engendering a wish to produce growth and harmony in a creative partnership with it.

The varied appeal of gardening

The attractions of gardening are many and various and, to a degree perhaps unique among the arts and crafts, maybe experienced by any age group and at all levels of ambition. At its most elemental, but not least valuable, the gardening experience begins with the child’s wonder that a packet of seeds will produce a charming festival of color. At the adult level, it can be as simple as helping to raise a good and edible carrot, and it can give rise to almost parental pride. At higher levels of appreciation, it involves an understanding of the complexity of the gardening process, equivalent to a chess game with nature, because the variables are so many.

Conclusion

Gardening is my pastime. While in my garden I remain so engrossed with the plants that I forget all worldly worries and anxieties. A divine peace descends on me. I come out of the garden with a fresh body and a light heart.
