1. Pick Your Plants:
After picking the right place, Pick the plants according to your taste. Please choose only the flowers that are good for your health, as some can be allergic and cause discomfort to you or your family members. We prefer you to visit the nursery. It is the place where you can find a variety of plants, flowers, and even seeds that you can use in your garden.
Further, while choosing a plant, note that plants grow in varying sizes and shapes. So, if you’re choosing a plant that can become a tree in the future, then be mindful that it may take more space and can stop the sunlight to the small plants under its shade.
Choose the plants according to your environmental conditions. Like you, some plants require a specific climate, and if we try to take it into a different region not similar to the previous conditions, then definitely it can have a bad impact on them.

After the Sun needs, we have to focus on the soil requirements of what we’re growing. Many different plants or vegetables require different pH values for their existence. So, it’s necessary to make sure you have a place with fertile soil.
3. Maintenance of your garden:
After you’ve picked the right plants, here comes a time when you need to give your best to save your garden. You need to maintain a proper check-up on every plant in your garden. Water every plant every day if there’s no rain.
