Picking out your own garden decor can be the most rewarding part of your working on an inside garden. You can pick out the plants and set your garden just how you want it to look. This article will give you some great tips for picking out garden decor for your own outdoor space.
Some of these tips include some things that will attract certain pollinators, activities to take part in, or just ideas that might be helpful in helping your garden grow.
1. Take an inventory of the plants in your garden. If you have been planting for a while, you should know exactly what is being grown there. You will find it easier to style and decorate according to what does well in your garden too. Think about adding some new plants as well. Ask someone at your local nursery if they have any particular flowers or plants that do well there, or if they would offer a loaner plant to use and grow until you have it planted properly.
2. Know what attracts certain pollinators. Birds are a great way to attract the birding variety of pollinator, while keeping the larger yard pests away. Most flowers or plants will have a short blossom or fruit that is attractive to different pollinators. The best part is that you can do this on your own and there are plenty of guides online that you can try out to see which ones do attract certain pollinators in your area too.
3. Pick out some plants specifically for planting near water access points if you have them. Planting some water lillies along your current access points can help keep the bugs at bay and ward off any unwanted pests as well.
4. Think about including a native plant or two in your front and/or back yard if you have land to spare. Native plants are great ways to add some variety to your landscape, while providing a benefit to the land that is not as readily available with non-native species. Native species tend to be more resilient, which makes them good for your garden too.
