Garden décor art sculpture
A garden décor art sculpture can
really enhance a garden. Many people try to enhance a garden solely
with flowers and plants. Yes, this can work, but oftentimes you
need a little something more. Oftentimes, you need something more
like a garden décor art sculpture. Most of us have art inside
our homes, why not have art outside, as well. Why not have garden
décor art sculptures, too?

Shedding
a favorable light on gardening in the shade
Recently, I have been introduced to several wonderful shade gardeners.
It seems that they are teaching me. Sure, sun gardening allows more choices,
more texture and more flowers. But when I compare the plants in the sun
garden to those in the shade garden, the difference is incredible.
The
Garden Life: Thoughts On Sustainable Gardening
For many who garden, the concept of gardening naturally or holistically
or organically is one of our greatest challenges. Each new generation
approaches the issues of the modern world from a unique view point. While
some long time gardeners feel intimidated by the idea of eliminating all
non-organic techniques, those who begin gardening in today's world will
likely feel that the use of sustainable gardening practices is the best
choice they can make.
6
steps to a successful backyard transformation
Make a dream list. This time, jot down what you want to add to your yard.
If you have young children, a pool fence or cover is a must. For landscaping
ideas, flip through home and garden magazines. If you already have a theme
in mind, go with it. Because my house today would be the size of someone's
new garage, I want to go with a cozy cottage theme.
Preparing
for a garden
THOUGH THERE IS no such thing as an effortless garden, preparation is
the first step toward that goal. There are any number of garden plants
that can be expected to increase on their own if the gardener has provided
the right environment for that increase. Gardens, after all, do not make
themselves.
'Green'
lawn and garden care
When you care for your lawn and garden this summer, you could be harming
the environment. Many fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides
contain potentially dangerous chemicals and toxins. These substances can
seep into the groundwater or run off into rivers, lakes, streams, and
reservoirs, contaminating local drinking water sources.
QUICK
TIPS Design Ideas for Drought-Tolerant Landscape
``Xeriscape'' is derived from root words ``xeric,'' meaning dry, and ``scape,''
denoting a view, as in landscape. So, literally translated, it is landscape
design for dry conditions. Through common use, the term has become known
as the practice of installing drought-resistant plants, delivering water
to them efficiently and keeping their root balls moist as long as possible.
Therefore, another way to refer to xeriscaping is water-efficient landscape
design.
