Why Bother Gardening In Today's World?
If you have that "yearning" inside you to start (or improve) your garden, you don't need any "reasons".
But sometimes the thought does come up -- why do we garden at all?
I mean, after all, we can buy flowers at the store, can't we?
We can certainly get our vegetables at the store.
But you and I know it's not that simple, don't we? There's something thrilling, even inspiring, about having a garden of your own.
For centuries, many people have known...
The Irresistible Attraction Of Gardening
Maybe it's the same for you as it is for me...
You picture yourself in your own garden.
It's peaceful in the garden; you're surrounded by lush greenery, cool moist soil, and colorful explosions of flowers.
The scent of the flowers and the soil is carried on the breeze that whispers through the garden. As you walk around, looking at the plants and flowers, you're amazed to think that you grew them from seeds and "starters", and that your care and work brought all this life into the world.
Maybe you, like me, enjoy thinking of how it feels to gather up ripe tomatoes, crisp green beans, and sweet lettuce for your evening meal - from your own garden. There's nothing quite like the taste of food your grew yourself.
Not only can you enjoy vine-ripened goodies that have the added flavor only nature can provide, you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you grew your fruit and veggies on your own.
And, don't forget, it is convenient and pleasurable to have a variety of tasty treats growing in your own backyard.
Not to mention the fact that it will save you money...but that's just a side benefit.
The Simple Pleasures Of Flowers And Other Plants
A flower garden provides you with a magnificent retreat where you can relax after a stressful day. Similarly, it adds beauty and value to your home when done right.
Not only that, you can actually take care of problem areas in your yard with a little creativity and a few flowers, shrubs, and trees.
Whether you are planting a flower garden or a vegetable garden, planting trees or strawberries, from my gardening and planting tips you will discover that one of the great satisfactions of gardening is just getting out there and getting your hands dirty.
Gardening is a great activity for reducing anxiety and reducing stress as you feel yourself getting closer to nature.
But Isn't Gardening Hard To Do?
If you've never gardened before, you might worry that it's difficult.
And if you've ever tried a little gardening and perhaps had trouble with it, you might feel that it's not as easy as I'm letting on.
I assure you that if you follow a few basics, it is quite easy.
Anyone can do it.
You just need the right information and a wee bit of patience. Don't let yourself be worried by the questions that plague so many beginning gardeners: - How do I start a garden?
- What do I need to have in order to grow a garden?
- Are there any tricks of the trade I should know?
- Is it costly?
- How do I maintain my garden once I get it started?
- Will it take all of my time?

Why This Gardening Guide Is Different
If you've looked at gardening guides in the bookstores, you know what the problem is. Gardening guides usually fall into one of three categories: - Those that are too general, and thus end up being more like encyclopedias. Too much information to sort through!
- Those that are filled with lots of pretty pictures, but very little useful information or instruction.
- And then there are the guides that are too specialized - say, a book all about just hostas or a guide that only covers growing tomatoes.
What I found that I really wanted was a simple guide that was: - Short enough to be easily read in a day or so.
- Covers all the general kinds of gardening (flowers, vegetables, and "general" gardening).
- Stripped bare of fluff, and filled only with solid, useful instruction.
That's exactly the kind of guide I've created for you.
