My Personal Story of Urban Gardening
Written By Merry Chen
Public awareness of the environment has created a surge of interest in urban gardening and even led to the increasing use of landscaping to modify the functional and aesthetic aspects of the surroundings. And this awareness has created a demand for horticultural products that make a more natural, pleasing and functional environment.
Excessively large masses of human beings used to believe that you could have as much fun with a small urban garden than you would a full sized garden. It will largely depend upon your own thought, you could also grow anything as you like whether you have a plot of land or just a little flower pot. At any rate, a variety of plants could be grown in containers and a good many would thrive in both sunlight and shade, thus are conducive to the urban garden.
Plants of urban gardening are far more varied than being restricted to only flowers and shrubs. There are actually a lot of things you can do, you could have the option of planting a wide variety of fruits, herbs and vegetables. Perhaps one of the most satisfying elements of owning this kind of garden is that it could be surprisingly attractive and aromatic. That's to say. It could not merely delight the eye but also provides health-oriented products. Furthermore, it was a most gratifying experience for me. I could feel a great sense of personal satisfaction in the process of creating my own food since myself is in the system from beginning to end.
I also hope to benefit from other's successful experience, acting on my own plan, I have decided to pay a visit to a nearby garden center or nursery, by doing this, I'm fully aware of everything that I may need to develop my own small garden. What's more, it has come to my notice that there're numerous types of tubs and containers that would accommodate any budget. The containers high in price are commonly regarded as an "frost protected" that could be protected from the cold wind and frost, thus can be used outdoors during the harsh winters. What is important is that I now recognize that the garden center should generally be delighted, so I would value the advice about how to grow on the kind of compost. The point is of the utmost importance and can have a great effect on your production. The fact remains that the garden center would provide you with the things you need particularly if you have learnt a great deal about what manner of flower, produce or plant you would like to grow.
As the old saying goes: Human growth is a process of experimentation, trim, and error, ultimately leading to wisdom, this holds true for the planting experience. I also attempt to grow a wide variety of plants such as shrubs, flowers, vegetables and herbs from a seed or get them as small plants or seedlings. You can choose lots of different kinds of plants that you could afford to. For me personally, I find there's nothing better to grow from a seed by virtue of being cheaper to start, what's more, the growing process is most satisfying and desirable, because I'm able to raise it from the very first and watching the evolution of plants.
Make no mistake about it, the rich perfection of garden with so many kinds of delightful shrubs and flowers does really make a contribution to reveal a world and gratified our own needs. The garden afforded a vista pleasant to contemplate. Everything in the garden is charming to the eye. I also want to share a little bit of my planting experience with you: supposing that you don't have that big lot to surround yourself with pleasant patches of plants. You can also choose to arrange them around a window.
I never willingly use some words full of flourish to build an illusory and ingenious gardens. I only wanted to express my own intimate and sincere passion about urban gardening. Not everyone in the United States owns land for a garden. Yet gardening, at least for me, is a popular activity that I would keep going. There's certainly no earthly ground for us to delay or indecision in our actions, just act and start the enjoyment of experiencing your own urban garden.
