Good Directions : Gardening

Create a thriving indoor or outdoor garden with the right gardening supplies from gardening tools & gear, soil & seedlings to planters, potting benches & ideas for container gardening or your small-space backyard garden. Select a garden plan depending on the space you have & the weather too, because climate plays an important role on the type of plants, flowers, herbs or veggies that you can easily cultivate. Pick the perfect planter depending on the plants you choose & also the garden design you have in mind. Container gardening works great for smaller spaces like a porch or patio where you can use a mix of freestanding planters & hanging planters to create an indoor oasis. Raised garden beds, on the other hand, work for bigger spaces or a backyard that you can transform into a garden zone. If you have an outdoorsy room with plenty of sunlight, consider turning it into a greenhouse for all your plants.
