A simple home garden adds beauty and value to your dream house. The attraction is not lost by having a simple garden. It is actually much easier to destroy the balance if your garden is complex and too fully featured. If you plan too much for your garden, especially if it is fairly small, chances are it will end up an eye sore and worse, a pain to maintain.



A simple home garden, however, can still be functional in many ways. Simplicity is not a reason to be nonfunctional. Commercial returns can still come if planned properly. Otherwise expensive vegetables can be grown almost freely. Likewise hydrophonics can allow you to have many exotic plants in your garden.

For most people, however, flowers are the central feature of the home garden. A simple home garden should have just the right mix and amount of colors of flowers. And you don't need professional help on that. In fact a combination of just a few flowers, correctly planted and placed is just what you need to have a simple home garden that will delight you and your visitors for a long time.

Different areas maybe created for different purposes if there is enough room. However this should not be absolutely followed. No artificial barriers should be created, if possible, between vegetables and flowers. Bushes can be placed together with playgrounds, for instance. It may, however, make good sense to group vegetables together so that harvest can be done easily without much searching.

Easy to maintain plants and vegetables should be grown first. That way you can gain confidence before starting on the more difficult plants. You don't want to wait for 6 months to know that your first plant was started wrongly! Plant easily so that you get fast results as morale booster before you go for the difficult one.

Use your experience on simpler plants to go for the more challenging ones. The simpler successes will help you feel good if you happen to fail in the more difficult plants later.

Start a big home garden project without experience and you will have a high chance of failure. Start simple and you will experience the growth of your home garden. Plants and vegetables are living things. They need love and care, and you need experience to nurture them. Before you know it, you will have a successful home garden for your sould and heart.
