How do I start gardening as a beginner?
First and foremost, I’m delighted you’ve chosen to take up gardening. I’ve been doing it for about a year, and I can’t even begin to describe how soothing it is. Even if you don’t have a vast space in your home – whether it’s in the backyard, lawn, terrace, or even on a tiny balcony – you can build up a wonderful garden on your own by following some basic steps:
Choose your plants carefully. Begin with low-maintenance plants that can tolerate a broad range of weather conditions. There are simple flowers like French lavender that you can have around and simple herbs like chillies that you can start with.
Set up a specific time for gardening tasks. Early morning or around dusk are great because the weather is typically fine during these times.
Begin with a simple gardening starter kit that includes lightweight tools for weeding, transplanting, cultivating, and growing plants. To avoid soiling your hands, don’t forget to use gardening gloves every time. Tool kits and water sprinklers are available from Falcon, Truphe, and Ketsy.
Finally, try to make your garden look exciting and unique by adding things like cute garden statues, colourful flower pots, bird-shaped planters, and so on. Gardening is an excellent way to create a positive environment, relieve stress, get some exercise, and even help you deal with depression.
