If you dream of having a garden full of plants, as if it were a "neat jungle", but you have no idea where to start, don't worry. It is normal to have many doubts, and it is that, of course, we know what the objective is, but ... how to get there so that we have a green space that the whole family can enjoy?
The rush is not good, so we will go step by step, moving to the next only when we have finished the previous one. Let's see how to have a lush garden.
Decide what type of garden you want to have
If you are a palm tree lover, create your garden with these magnificent plants.
Depending on the type of plants that we like the most, the style of the garden will be one or the other. Thus, if we like trees and similar plants, we will be interested in having a sheltered garden, which over time will allow us to protect ourselves from the intense summer sun.
Make a draft
When we already know what type of garden we want to have, what we have to do now is a draft, either on paper or using some computer program. At you must put the different sections that you want to include in the garden, such as the relaxation area, the pond, or the games area for children if we have one. In addition, it is important that let's draw the types of plants (trees, shrubs, flowers, etc.) that we want to plant taking into account the meters that the land has.
Research and choose the plants that best suit your area

In this way, we can get an idea of the species that we really want to plant in the garden.
To save money and time, it is advisable to choose those that resist the weather well.
Plant the plants properly
Once we have the plants at home, we have to plant them in a space where they can grow and develop well, otherwise we could end up having problems in the future. For this reason, You have to think, especially if they are trees or tall plants, that even if they are young now, as time goes by they will get bigger to reach their final size.
Create special corners
A stone path that leads us to a bench that is located in a much loved tree where we will spend many pleasant moments, a series of garden gnomes that guide us to the playground, ... With a little imagination, we can create full corners of charm.
Decorate the facade of the house
Having a lush garden in a house that has no plants on its facade can be a bit strange. Thus, it is very advisable to put flowersas geraniums, carnations: petunias, among others, in the windows. Thus we will have a home full of life, not only in the garden itself, but also in the home.
With these ideas, having a lush garden is not that complicated 🙂.
