Where to Grow Your Garden

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING, BUT WHAT MAKES A PLACE PERFECT?

There's an old real estate saying that always seems to hold true, even when it comes to plants: Location is everything! Your garden needs the perfect spot to grow, whether it's next to your porch or on a rooftop, to thrive fully. By considering essential garden elements like sunlight, healthy soil, and consistent care, you can help your plants find their happy place!

In your quest for an ideal setting, start by asking yourself these questions:

IS IT SUNNY?

Consider all outdoor spaces where you can place your garden and think about the time of year you plan to cultivate plants. Light changes with the seasons, so observe how and where it shines for a few days, and you'll begin to see patterns of sun and shade. Since most vegetables, herbs, and flowers need at least 6 to 8 hours of sun per day.

IS IT LEVEL?

It's important that the terrain is level, as a garden in a low spot, like at the base of a hill or in a hollow in the middle, could end up retaining too much moisture. It may sound like gardening Goldilocks, but a flat and level place is "just right" for your beds.

IS IT CLOSE TO A WATER SOURCE?

I recommend watering at least once a week for in-ground and raised gardens, and once a day or more for container gardens. Ensure that your hose can reach all the plants. I assure you that gardening is more enjoyable when you organize yourself properly.

IS IT VISIBLE?

Out of sight, out of mind, and this applies to many things, including gardening. You'll take better care of your plants and enjoy them more if your garden is located where you can see it. When it's right outside your window or in a spot you pass by every day, your flowers will call to you like a siren's song, asking for the love and attention they need.

HOW IS THE SOIL?

Plants must spread and adhere to the soil; water and air should flow through the ground they call home. Soil is very important because it contains nutrients and moisture that plants use to establish, grow, and produce leaves, fruits, and flowers.
