As I am sure that you will be well aware, there are many different types of gardens and the part of the world that you live in and it's climate and local weather will certainly dictate the type of garden that you create.
Fear not however, wherever you live in the world, you can create a lovely garden. Let's face facts, if you can live there, so can the plants. Okay, you may be restricted by limited availability of water, or fertilizer, but don't worry, we cover that on our sister website and in our newsletter, which is delivered twice each month. You can sign up to it free of charge HERE (opens in a new window).
Some people prefer the quiet tranquility of a flower garden. Others will enjoy the satisfaction the shade of trees and shrubs. Yet others will revel at the prospect of growing their own food in a vegetable garden, either by design or necessity. Yet others will prefer growing their plants in containers for the purpose of saving space, being able to easily relocate their plants, or for other personal reasons.
We are going to take a look at some of the most common types of gardening, and the pros and cons of each type. This will hopefully help make it easier for you to choose which type of gardening you would prefer to tackle, and might help keep you from making the wrong decision. The Type of Garden You Choose Will Depend on Several Factors.
If you live in an apartment or flat, it will be virtually impossible for you to have any type of garden, no matter how much you may desire one. So settle for a window box and/or indoor plants. Join your local allotment society, if one exists near you and if an allotment becomes available and you are fit and healthy - go for it - and grow your own flowers, fruit and veg.
If you have a disability, perhaps you need to use a wheelchair, or a walking stick to move around, then taking care of an outdoor garden might prove difficult, from time to time. So why not consider some raised beds in your garden, where you can manage your flowers and/or vegetables while seated?
Ask yourself these questions:-
- How much space do I have available for gardening?
- How much time do I have to care for my plants?
- How physically capable am I to care for my garden?
- How much money do I have available to start my garden?
- What is the main purpose for my garden?
- Are my family and friends going to support me, join me and enjoy my garden?
You need to look at all of these factors and weigh them up against all of the available gardening options. Only then can you look at the range and types of gardening. Start by marking off the types of garden that you are not interested in. Then you can eliminate those that would be impractical or impossible for you to tackle. You can then evaluate the remaining options and decide which one you would prefer to try.
Bear in mind however, you could easily combine a few different types of gardening into your system and try and test it to see how your experiment works out. Good luck, best wishes with your chosen garden and remember that you can find a multitude of articles containing answers to gardening questions, at our sister site, by clicking HERE.
