Nursery Plants Lay the Foundation for Your Garden
Gardening aficionados understand that any garden is only as good as the plants they start with. Nursery plants provide the foundation for beautiful and flourishing flower, vegetable and herb gardens, as well as the base for any landscaping design. For basic landscaping needs, ground cover plants provide the perfect starting point. Ground cover includes all plants that grow low; in most cases, ground plants also spread quickly, providing a solid foundation for landscaping designs. Grass is the most common ground cover plant, but there are many other types. The most affordable way to establish grass in a yard is to use grass seed, which can cover a large yard area for a very small investment. Different types of grass offer different benefits; some may have a more pleasing texture, while others grow more quickly.
While grass is a good starting point for landscapes, there are times when color and texture are needed in a yard area. In this situation, it is recommended to select ground covers that offer these features and integrate them into the overall design. Once the canvas is created with a well-maintained ground cover, it's time to add interest to the yard area.
In order to create distinct areas of focus, homeowners should look at bushes and shrubs. Bushes and shrubs enclose the yard and frame flower beds and areas of focus. Many people choose to plant an assortment of evergreen and deciduous shrubs. Evergreen shrubs will remain green and plush even during the cold months and are an excellent starting point. Deciduous shrubs and bushes will not remain in-bloom or active for as long, but they will punch up the landscape with both color and flowers.
Nursery plants provide easy solutions for homeowners. With little work, a yard can be transformed from drab to spectacular. However, not all species are available in plant form. Because of this, seeds are a good backup for many landscape designs. Seeds are especially useful for people who grow flowers, herbs or edible garden plants.
Seeds are a fraction of the cost of full-grown plants and are easy to care for and maintain. In a flower garden, perennial plants provide a permanent and low-maintenance addition to the design; many perennial flowers are easily planted from seed and will continue to grow and bloom each spring. Herb seeds can be planted in a pot and flourish into a viable container garden. For vegetable plants, seeds provide a jump-start to the growing season; gardeners can plan ahead, ensuring that they have the varieties and plants they need for their spring landscape.
