There's no better way to feel close to nature than by tending a garden.
Even most six-year-olds know that plants need sunlight and water, but
there's much more to
gardening than just that. Beginners should start
by determining the soil condition and the amount of sunlight their
intended garden receives. Then they can choose the plants that will
thrive in those conditions. Gardeners also need to decide early on
whether they will use chemical fertilizers and pest repellants or use a
more natural approach. Whether you choose to grow food, flowers, or
ornamental plants, you're sure to enjoy your garden
