Beautify Your Garden with These 5 Innovative Gardening and Landscaping Tips

Known as the City of Gardens, Singapore is the right place for different and diverse types of plants and trees. Therefore, gardening and landscaping are some of the most popular hobbies and professions in Singapore. Furthermore, the city also takes outdoor landscaping seriously, especially after adopting sustainability goals.

 

In addition to a renewed focus on cultivating nature and greenery in Singapore, both private and public buildings have committed to gardening or landscaping. Elements such as green roofs, vertical gardens, and rooftop gardens have become a common phenomenon. Additionally, the authorities are also focusing on urban farming and edible gardens to meet the food demands of the city.

 

So, are you new to gardening? Are you unsure if you should avail the services of a landscaping professional? Then let us help you with a few crafty tips and tricks that can unleash the potential of your garden.

 

5 Innovative Gardening and Landscaping Tips

  1. Consider an edible garden - Do not limit your landscape planning and designing to ornamental plants. An edible garden can also make your landscape beautiful and provide necessary spices, herbs or even foods. For an edible garden, you need to ensure an unrestricted flow of sunlight. Most vegetables, herbs, and flowering plants require substantial sunlight. Otherwise, either they’ll grow weak or won't grow at all.
  2. Landscape design - It is always advisable to consult a professional landscape designer to plan your landscape. But if you insist on doing it yourself here’s a beginner’s tip. If you’re planning the landscape surrounding your house, the main entrance should be emphasised. It ensures that the first thing your guests see is top-notch artistry and creativity of nature and design.
  3. Organise the tool shed - If you’re planning to invest your time and energy into gardening and landscaping, it is safe to say that you’re going to need several tools. So, it is best that you keep aside a space in your backyard or in your home for the tools. Traditionally, tool sheds are kept in the backyard, where you can access the tools whenever you need to. And you don’t have to deal with the garden dirt and soil coming into the house.
  4. Determining landscape needs - While deciding on the garden type, you also need to decide on the landscape needs. Do your kids need a playing area? Or do you want to barbecue in the backyard? Or maybe you’re planning to install a pool for the summer? Depending on your needs, you need to design the area, pick the plans, install an irrigation system and so on. If you’re planning a green roof, then also you need to plan the structuring of the plants and select appropriate plants for shading and so on.
  5. Checking the pots - If you have an indoor garden, then you need to check the pots regularly. This can prevent bound roots; this can reduce water absorption abilities for the plant. A sign of bound root is when the roots are growing out of the drainage holes. Bound roots can lead to yellowing or browning of the leaves, this can hamper the bright, lush and green look of your garden.

 

These are some of the basic gardening or landscaping tips for beginners. At different Singapore nurseries, you’ll find plants that suit your indoor garden, rooftop garden, vertical garden and even an edible garden.
