Incorporate garden accents to establish visual interest. Our new garden collection by the legendary Bunny Williams is a great place to start. Use whimsical pieces from this collection like unique edging, tall trellises, and bird houses to really make your garden come alive. If you’re going the container route, variety and height are critical. Look for containers, planters, and plant stands in different shapes and sizes for a well-rounded look.

When you start a garden, keep in mind that some things are easier to grow than others. For first time growers, Brantley is big on herbs, “I can easily grow basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano in a pot right beside my grill and access them for summer suppers.” She also recommends cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and okra if you live in the deep South. As far as cut flowers, sinnias, coneflowers, sunflowers, and cosmos all make for an easy, abundant harvest.

If you’re not sure where to put your garden, a good rule of thumb is close to your backdoor, but not in direct site of the main views of your house. Ease of access is crucial to the success of your garden; however, you don’t want it to be front and center in case the garden becomes unsightly.

Before you get started, it’s a good idea to assess if you can realistically take on a garden. Ask yourself if you have enough time to tend to your garden daily, if you’re okay with being out in the heat, and who can tend to your garden if you go away for vacation. It’s important to think through the required elements if you want to yield the best results.

According to Brantley, the best time to begin prepping your garden is during the non-growing months, so late fall through the winter. During this time, you should focus on your planting, establishing a strong foundation for your garden, and brainstorming garden layout ideas.

Water and light are key for a succesful garden. Luckily, you can control the amount of water your garden receives with the help of water hoses and irrigation systems. For the best results, Brantley advises watering during certain times of day, “Water your garden first thing in the morning or later in the early evening, never in the heart of mid-day.” As for watering frequency, how much you water your garden can vary depending on climate, location, and types of plants.
