Capturing Natural Beauty
One of the best ways to showcase a garden is by growing flowers and herbs. Not only are they lovely to look at, but flowering gardens also present an oasis for pollinating creatures such as honeybees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to do their jobs.
Complimenting your living space by creating a garden with brightly colored flowers and heavenly scented herbs captivates both the mind and body. And it is easily accomplished since many flowering plant species and herbs are perennials – meaning they come back year after year.
Perrenials VS Annuals
For example, tulips, daffodils, crocus, and other bulbs signal the first signs of spring, ushering in the delightful season. Not far behind, rose bushes begin sprouting leaves as forsythia, lilac, and snowball bushes adorn the landscape.
Additionally, many herb varieties come back year after year, depending on the climate. Tiny shoots of chives begin popping up as mint, lavender, and other herbs slowly start to emerge when soil temperatures warm.
Summertime Beauty
As the season progresses, flowering plants put forth their full display of colors and fragrances. Brightly colored annuals such as zinnias, snapdragon, and petunias showcase a rainbow of hues in garden beds and containers.
By mid-summer, the fragrances of rosemary, sage, and dill fill the air around an herb garden. Imagine snipping off fresh basil leaves for a favorite dish or sprigs of spearmint for flavoring teas or salads. Growing these intoxicating plants is a pleasing addition to any garden.
