1. Clean the lawn and introduce green plants

Let’s begin with the most basic step. Clean your lawn, trim the grasses and root out the weeds. Depending upon the size of your lawn, it may take you a day or two. But this will have an immediate impact on the surrounding environment. Don’t forget to buy a few green plants and plant them strategically across the field. Include both seasonal flowers and perennials in your collection.

2. A zen garden

A zen garden could be a peaceful retreat within the premise of your own home. Select a corner suitable for the purpose. Spread gravel, sand and pebbles on the ground. Create a source of flowing water like a small fountain or utilise one already in the compound. Introduce greenery.

3. Indoor garden

Many city homes suffer from acute space crunch. If you are living in one such building, try to utilise the living area and create a small indoor garden. Buy potted plants, invest in a desktop zen garden or terrace garden. You may even use potted plants to decorate the stairways.

4. Cosy corners

Select a cosy corner where you would like to spend most of your time with your loved ones. Create a vertical landscape. Make a few seating arrangements and relax in this peaceful retreat whenever necessary.

Availability of light is very important for your indoor and outdoor garden. If you have a greenhouse or orangery, you can invest in greenhouse lighting and give your plants an opportunity to grow rapidly and beautifully. Install stand lighting fixtures and traditional lanterns in your terrace garden or front deck.

6. Enjoy gardening in unusual nooks and corners

7. Small vegetable garden

Who doesn’t like the taste of fresh and organically grown fruits and vegetable? Select a small area and grow your very own vegetable garden. Plant easy to grow fruits and vegetable like peas, tomatoes, beans, mint, parsley and onions in this space. With some advantage knowledge and little more space, you can grow apple, strawberries and figs in your own garden.
