Creating a garden beautifully is not that easy. To make an impression on your neighbors, you should not make the following mistakes.

For many, a beautiful home also includes a beautiful and well-kept garden. But where should you start? After all, hobby gardeners can also make common mistakes that at first glance are not a problem. Here you can find out what you have to pay attention to when creating a garden so that it will stir up enthusiasm among your neighbors and friends.

Create a garden without planning

Full of anticipation, many hobby gardeners start without thinking and dig the first parts of the ground. However, proper planning pays off in most cases: First, think about what you absolutely want to have in the garden *. Should there be a spot for seating or a garden pond? Then schedule that. Prepare a true-to-scale plan for this and draw in what you want to plant where. Also pay attention to which areas are in the shade, partial shade or in the sun - this is important for the correct selection of plants.

Ignore the nature of the garden floor

Planning also includes making yourself familiar with the nature of the soil in your garden . After all, there are plants that prefer a humus-rich soil to a loamy one, or who prefer it to be sandy. So a soil analysis * can also be useful, which also determines the pH value . Depending on the type of soil, you can then initiate measures to improve the soil or rework it with fertilization.

Create a garden: choose the wrong plants

Of course, your own preferences play a role in the choice of plants, but they should not be the only decisive factor. If you want to have a particularly easy-care garden, you should, for example, find out which plants are suitable for this. In addition, it is nice when a lot of flowers bloom in spring and summer, but the garden should not be quite barren even in winter. To do this, select a few hardy leafy ornamental plants so that your garden gives something even in the cold season.

The height differences between the plants are also important: they should be arranged so that they do not obscure each other and also give a harmonious picture in the time of flowering. With trees and shrubs you should definitely pay attention to how big they can get and keep them enough space.

Underestimate the amount of work in the garden

Not only is creating the garden time-consuming, but also maintaining the garden takes a lot of work. Therefore, you should consider in advance how much free time you can spare for gardening. Certain plants and trees need more care than others.

You shouldn't take care of the garden itself either: the greenhouse, vegetable garden, rose garden or a cut hedge look very pretty, but they take a lot of time or even the help of professionals . So before each purchase, calculate exactly whether the effort is worth looking at.
