The use of flowering plants in our gardens and landscapes can give that WOW, it’s so amazing how plants which produce flowers gives not only a colorful tropical look but and appearance of a garden oasis which is so peaceful and inviting.
I remembered a few years ago working on a garden project which really needed lots of colors, this area was a high traffic area the contractors who did the job installed lots of plants where only a few gave color but the majority of those plants did not produce flowers.

You won’t need to seed again!
Garlic
Gardening is pretty rewarding especially after all the hard work we put in, we deserve to reap a good harvest and a pat on the back for a job well done but the challenge that many home gardeners face is going back to working the soil and reseeding. Won’t it be great to have a garden where the work is done for you after you have done most of the work?
I don’t mean hiring someone to do the job for you which can be pretty costly but rather sowing seeds that will produce a harvest for you year after year, This is the type of garden to invest in as you spend less time working the soil and more time reaping.
