15 Great Gardening Ideas
15 Great Gardening Ideas will help you make the most of your outdoor space this year. This post also contains an affiliate ad at no extra cost to you.
Spring is here! I love growing things. It is one of the passions I only discovered when I bought my first house with my husband. Until then, I joked I was a serial plant killer. I could kill pretty much any houseplant given to me. BUT, given an outdoor garden and a genuine yard, that all changed. I started off growing the things I loved and quickly found that I enjoyed how therapeutic it felt. That said, I can always use some help figuring out how to grow specific things, and how to help grow certain vegetables and prevent pests. This year I am looking at container gardening. How about you?

Gardening Can Be Relaxing
Gardening is one of those things I now enjoy doing because I find it relaxing and sometimes there’s a little bit of fitness involved too. Are you a green thumb or a brown thumb? What kinds of things do you love to plant?

I definitely have no green thumb and my small garden is probably very laughable considering I don’t tend to it. Both my parents love gardening though so I will definitely pass on your tips and maybe they can learn a few things.

So many great ideas! Can’t wait until we move to a house I can actually have a garden at! I miss my old garden back home and how fun I had with my kids gardening!

Hi Paula – I really do need to look at each one of these for at least my indoor planting – outdoors would be wonderful to have an English garden – we had it when my son did the gardening – I’ll need your help it seems – and thank you 🙂

Vertical gardening is something that has caught my eye; I just don’t have anywhere to do this. I want to do container gardening badly though.
