The new year is a time when many people make resolutions to improve their well-being and gardening is a great way to do just that. Gardening is more than a hobby; it’s a source of inspiration, a reprieve from the daily grind and a great form of exercise! If more gardening is one of your 2024 resolutions, GARDENA has the tips and tools to make it the most rewarding one on your list.

First, let’s dig into a few tips on how to get started.

  1. Conduct some groundwork

Consider the size of your space. Is it a big yard with lots of space for flower beds and trees? Or a small area, perfect for a little herb garden? Is it a balcony, just the right size for a few beautiful pot plants?

  1. Consider the sun

Check how much sunlight your space receives. Does one area receive more sun throughout the day than another? Is one spot always shady? This is important to note as different plants require different amounts of sunlight to thrive.

  1. Check the soil

Soil type is an important factor to consider. Water drains differently through different soil types, so the soil type will have a direct impact on the moisture available to your plants. The soil is also your plants’ direct source of essential nutrients. Treat the soil with compost, fertiliser or other agents to ensure that it is well prepared for the plants you want in your garden.

  1. Plan out your vision

Now that you’ve taken care of the nitty gritty, you can start planning out your vision. Consider the plant shape, size and height that would work best in your space and take into account that plants grow! The size when planted may not be the size in a year or more. It’s easy to get a bit carried away by the excitement of creating your oasis. Make use of the experts at your local garden centre and let them help you bring your vision to life one step at a time.

  1. Bring your plants home

Now comes the truly exciting part: shopping for plants! Look for strong stems and lush leaves as these are signs of a healthy plant.

  1. Time to get dirty

Finally, it’s time to earn that green thumb! First, place the plants (still in the pots or planter bags in which you purchased them) in the spots you want to plant them. Once you have figured out the spacing, you can start planting them out by carefully following the instructions provided by your garden centre or by researching techniques for that specific plant. Remember to follow the care instructions to ensure your plants grow and thrive.

  1. Make it pretty

It's never too early to add some decorative elements to your new garden. GARDENA has several products that are both beautiful and functional. With January to March being the hottest months of the year, we recommend choosing something that adds to the enjoyment of outdoor living. The GARDENA Outdoor Cooling Mist Set provides pleasant freshness on hot days and cools down the ambient air by up to 6°C. The versatile GARDENA ClickUp! Handle is a stand that can be fitted with the ClickUp! SolarLamps, TorchFirePlaces or WindLights to create a lovely atmosphere in the summer evenings.
