01 - SIZE First thing is planning. Choose the location and size of your garden, delimit the area, observe the incidence of sun, rain, the quality of the soil and try to visualize it finished to get an idea of how it will harmonize with the rest of the environment. A professional gardener can do this planning and soil correction for you.
02 - TYPES OF PLANTS Now that you know the location and size of your garden, choose the type of plant. Shrubs, flowers, fruit trees, grass... Everything is valid, however each type of plant will transmit a message in your garden. Robustness, delicacy, tranquility, joy...
03 SIZE OF PLANTS Remember that your plants grow! Always observe the final size of the chosen plant so you don't run the risk of it invading the space of other plants or even causing structural problems in your home.
For your garden to always have beautiful plants, know the final size of each one and if it's better to keep them in pots or on the ground. A plant that can reach 80cm in height, for example, requires a pot 30cm deep by 20cm in diameter. Also note that the roots accompany the growth of the plant.
04 DECORATIVE ITEMS Use creativity to make your garden more cozy! One idea is the furniture on pallets that are cheap and very beautiful. Arrange them in "U" or "L" to facilitate interaction between people. You can also use some pots, teapots or bottles as vases, cages as lamps, an old chair becomes a swing, a basket for flowers and even leftover bricks can become a space to light a fire on the coldest days.
Be very careful that there is no accumulation of standing water in your garden, thus preventing the proliferation of Aedes Aegypti.
