#TipsTuesday | Growing Your Own Garden

You don’t need a green thumb to grow your own garden. In fact, there are plenty of simple ways that you can achieve a stunning landscape. Check out the below ideas - perfect for even the most novice of gardeners:


Create a salad trough. Herbs and crops, like pepper, rosemary, and salad make for a great visual gardening display. Why? Because rosemary grows to be wildly tall and salad tends to stay low to the soil. In other words, when you plant a trough of herbs, you can easily create a dynamic of highs and lows.

Hang up your plants. Dress up your herbs by planting them in metal buckets. Then, watch them grow little by little each day. Around these flower pots you’ve designed, hang an assortment of glass jars filled with freshly cut flowers and candles. This arrangement is easy on the eyes and simple to put together!

Plant roots in pails. Vegetables, such as beetroot, are perfect for planting in buckets, so gather an assortment and paint them different colors. And don’t forget to add a few holes on the bottom of each pail so that your plants can drain properly! Place these pails on your back steps or walkway to display a stylish and symmetrical group of your favorite plants.
