Is it true that you can improve your quality of life by planning a beautiful garden upgrade? Well, essentially, our gardens are part of our homes and lives. Perhaps we like to entertain in the garden, or maybe we just use it as an escape from the world and delve into an hour of gardening here and there. When we upgrade the space, we are investing in our own minds. An excellent place to sit in the summer, a herb garden to take advantage of, and enjoying the aesthetics of a beautiful flower garden. These all contribute to a happier mindset.
Nourish your body and soul
A home garden can and should be world and person-friendly. It allows us to grow some food for ourselves, natural, healthy, local, live, nutritious and non-toxic food. When starting a garden, even a potted garden on the porch, there is great satisfaction when you manage for the first time to grow something. When you can grow tomatoes in your greenhouse and pick your cherry tomatoes for your salad. The garden opens the door to a formative family activity, to meetings with neighbors in a shared home garden.
The backyard garden connects us to nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, and taking responsibility for ourselves and the world. Here we can plant trees – any tree we plant will improve the air quality in the area around and slightly slow down the destruction of the earth. The garden allows us to give back some space to wildlife and birds that are disappearing from the world as it becomes more crowded and polluted day by day. It invites us to collect and preserve open seeds and use them next season, and it has a variety of opportunities for sports activities, to build our own place, to connect us to nature, a place to rest and relax. In fact, it gives healing to the body and mind, as we already mentioned.
Perfecting your backyard garden upgrade
Setting up a garden is also worth thinking about how to maintain it and think to the long-term. What is easy to handle? What plants are non-deciduous, and what furniture you want to buy? The type of furniture you purchase and accessories will determine the overall vibe of the garden. Do you want rattan furniture or perhaps a bistro table? Do you enjoy a BBQ or a modern fire pit? All of these are going to massively contribute to the look and feel.
A sustainable garden uses local plants that will thrive over time and with a minimum of intervention and almost no harm to the environment and the future. In a sustainable garden upgrade, an internal balance is created over time in the ecosystem, including humans, plants, and animals. You can create your own mini allotment, which will provide you with goodness, which will provide you with better health. Encourage wildlife and insects into the backyard garden -this will help enrich the land. Your garden can be your haven, so it’s time to make it a reality!
Despite freelancing to make a living, her love is "all things home."
Deborah grew up in a family that grew a large vegetable garden and a fruit orchard, helping her parents pull weeds and can home-grown foods as part of her childhood. In fact, she had no idea that she could purchase veggies and fruits in pre-packed steel cans until she went to college and made a food run.
Today, she lives in Bertie County, North Carolina, an agricultural rural area with more chickens than people. She lives with her husband and two rescue pets a sweet toy fox terrier and a cat who showed up one day and moved into the house. Together, they enjoy DIY projects, furniture refinishing, gardening, and canning.
This blog celebrates all things home.
