It’s fully spring now, which means gardening season is underway!
Even though gardens are beautiful and wonderful in so many ways, it can be intimidating to get started. Believe me, I get it. Gardens require a LOT of planning and consistent care, which can be daunting, especially if you’re already trying to tackle a million other things!
Well we’re here to help! Here’s our guide to help the budding gardener who just needs a little nudge in the right direction. Introducing Lars’ gardening essentials!
Lars and Gardens
If you’ve been following along for a while now, you’ll know I love gardens. I mean, anything that’s compatible with flowers is a big yes for me. Years ago, I described my dream gardens in this post. It’s a great place to start if you need a little help deciding on what types of plants to fill your garden with.
Tips for Beginners (or anyone, really!)
Speaking of tips on growing a garden, if you need some, see this post on how to grow a garden even when you think you can’t. I wouldn’t consider myself a pro, but you can see what I did to the front yard garden of our little rental (serious nostalgia here! I love our new house, but that little rental will always have a special place in my heart. And the garden turned out so lovely)!
Another post that can steer you in the right direction if you’re in need of a little garden inspiration is this post on how to plant a rainbow container garden. I go through plants of every color of the rainbow! It’s a lovely and easy way to add some color to your garden.
Oh, and if you need a few more gardening tips, as well as basic tools? See this post! It’s amazing how helpful a few basic tools can be in creating your dream garden. And speaking of tools and other essentials, you won’t want to miss this garden apron tutorial.
