With contributions from a culinary professional and an Arborist, we’ve compiled the top gardening tips, from evaluating space and climate to the benefits of companion planting.
Evaluate Space and Climate One gardening tip for herbs and vegetables? Easy. Evaluate your space and your climate. Personally, I have a lot of shade, and growing herbs in pots works well for me. I can move them around all summer and follow the sun. - Jeff Zeanah , Owner, Zous Chef Embrace Continuous Learning I love to garden as part of self-care, as I find it can be very therapeutic. One tip I would recommend to any gardening enthusiast, whether they are a beginner or not, is to stay curious and keep learning about gardening practices. Attend workshops, read gardening books, and seek advice from experienced gardeners to improve your skills and knowledge. Learning new gardening skills and overcoming challenges can contribute to personal growth and a sense of accomplishment. The satisfaction of nurturing plants and witnessing their growth is amplified when accompanied by a deeper understanding of the gardening process. Engaging in continuous learning also allows you to connect with other gardeners, both online and in local gardening communities. Exchanging ideas, experiences, and advice fosters a sense of community and provides valuable insights. - Severine Diaz, Founder, Band of Brothers Tour Focus on Soil Health One effective gardening tip for enthusiasts growing herbs and vegetables is to focus on soil health. Healthy soil is the foundation of a productive garden. Enriching the soil with organic matter, like compost, not only provides essential nutrients but also improves soil structure and moisture retention. This approach has consistently yielded robust and flavorful crops in my own garden. Remember, vibrant plants start from the ground up, so investing in soil health can make a significant difference. - Alex Taylor, Head of Marketing, CrownTV Implement Companion Planting For enthusiasts passionate about growing their own herbs and vegetables, I highly recommend implementing companion planting as a natural way to enhance growth and deter pests. This method involves strategically placing certain plants together to mutually benefit each other. For example, planting basil near tomatoes can improve their flavor while repelling harmful insects. Similarly, marigolds planted around the garden perimeter can deter pests with their scent. This approach not only maximizes garden space and increases yield but also reduces the need for chemical pesticides, promoting a healthier, more sustainable garden ecosystem. By understanding and utilizing the synergistic relationships between different plants, gardeners can create a thriving garden that’s both productive and environmentally friendly. - Dylan Heath, Arborist, Apex Arborists
