Avoid direct sunlight and water your small garden plants properly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re going to start a small garden, you&#8217;ll need to know how to keep it alive. Plants need sunlight and water to grow, but avoid giving them too much of a good thing. Excessive direct sun exposure or over-watering plants can have negative effects on your small garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We always suggest keeping your plants in indirect light, in a container with proper drainage holes, and watering from the bottom,\u201d says Nadika from <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/fleurdelisfloraldesign.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fleur de Lis Florist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cWhen watering, set your plants in a saucer of water and let them drink up until the soil is moist again before removing them. Avoiding top watering and pots without drainage holes ensures that the plants aren&#8217;t sitting in excess water, where they can succumb to root rot.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Clean up around the edges<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small, organized garden adds much more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/spring-curb-appeal\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">curb appeal<\/a> to your home than a large one that\u2019s all over the place. Just a little basic landscaping can enhance the look of your garden at little or no cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the cheapest and fastest ways to make your yard look polished is to clean up the edges,\u201d says Emily Taucher from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happygardenplace.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy Garden Place<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cUse a flat shovel or edging tool to create clean lines around flower beds, walkways, and driveways. Sharp edges give even the simplest spaces a professional look.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Create DIY garden art<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you enjoy arts and crafts, why not use that hobby to give your garden a little flair?

Shop at local nurseries and markets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local nurseries and farmers&#8217; markets often have better prices than large chain stores.

Shopping locally supports your community while giving you another potential resource for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/gardening-tips-for-spring\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">gardening tips<\/a> and tricks.

Utilize free resources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check online forums like Reddit, community gardens, and local gardening groups for free resources. Many gardeners are willing to share extra plants, seeds, or gardening tools. This is a great way to connect with fellow enthusiasts and find budget small garden ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12. Plan your layout<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start buying plants and materials, plan your garden layout. Consider important factors like sunlight, water access, and the mature size of your plants. The last thing you want to do is plant something that will outgrow your available garden space. A well-planned small garden is more efficient and will help you get the most out of your resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13. Incorporate vertical gardening<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a small lawn may limit the size of your garden, don\u2019t be afraid to think outside the box and take a more three-dimensional approach to get the most out of your garden.
