You live in a modern home in a modern city filled with modern establishments. Life in such a place is pretty fast. Obviously, you cannot afford to miss a beat if. The stress factor can rise at anytime and before you know it, you are already an old soul before you reach the age of 30. So, how can you combat this predicament? Simple! Just build a garden in your home and you will be able to get rid of stress through your garden’s relaxing scenery.
The garden falls into the category of things that are easy to plan but not easy to implement. You may have big plans for your garden but you will soon find out that those plans require a lot of hard work. Be prepared to literally turn garages or driveways into a land filled with grass, shrubs and trees. You will also need to plant every single garden component yourself. Just remember that the greater amount of hard work you exert, the greater the benefits you will reap.
Materials Used:
soil (amount depends on the size of your garden)
various plants
various shrubs
rake
trowel
shovel
garden design software
garden hose
Choose a Location
The location is the one of the most important factors when you plan to build a garden. The garden site should have access to sunshine and your household’s water supply. Remember that maintenance is always the key point for your garden to flourish. To select a location, eye your property carefully and take note of the best possible spots for your garden. When you have selected the perfect spot for your garden, you can start the creation process of your garden.
Create a Concept for Your Garden
Ideally, your garden’s design should match the theme of your home. Think for a few moments about the most suitable themes for your garden. If you have problems coming up with possible themes, you can use advanced garden design software to provide you with dozens of garden themes. With the use of the software, you can have a projection of how your garden will appear. You can tweak each template design until you finally select a theme for your garden. Print the plan of your proposed garden, since it will serve as your reference material.
Grow a Garden
Now that the planning stage is done, you can clear any obstructions from your garden site. You can hire a carpenter so that you do not have to worry about the demolition and recreation of home structures. When the area of your garden has been paved, fill the space with soil. Use your rake to divide the soil throughout in the entire area. Once done, view your garden plan then fill the designated areas with grass. Press on all the grass patches with your shovel so that they will completely stick to the soil. When the grass patches have been planted, proceed with your shrubs and blossoms. Refer to your garden plan then plant your flora accordingly.
The Final Touches
At this point, your garden is almost done. You just need to fine-tune a few more details to finish your garden. Once again, view the garden plan and install the indicated fixtures if there are any. Shower your garden plants with water to give them some nourishment. If you find the act of watering plants too much of a hassle, you can install a sprinkler system in your garden. When all the final touches are done, you can walk around your garden and relax.
Now, you can finally savor the fruits of your labor. Remind your friends the true meaning of relaxation by showing them your garden. Watch how they reward your work with praises and pats on your back. Two green thumbs up!
