After drinking your morning coffee and dropping your child off at school, you may feel inspired and crave a home-based project to complete. At a garden center, you will find a variety of flowers, homewares, seeds, and outdoor decor that can be used to create a patio or lawn display or a garden.

Fewer Shoppers To Deal With

Many employed people tend to do the majority of their shopping over the weekend and this includes shopping for things that can be used to upgrade or repair a lawn feature. During the week, you may have a better opportunity of being away from crowds and this will make it possible for you to casually explore each section of the garden center in entirety.

Annuals Or Perennials

Flowering and non-flowering plants will be classified based on if they are annuals or perennials. Ornamental and fruit trees, gardening supplies, and exotic plant specialties may also be featured. If you want to add color and texture to your property, purchase potted plant varieties and replant them on your property. For flowering varieties, choose ones that contain blooms that haven't opened yet.

For a more versatile approach, choose potted varieties that contain attractive pots or purchase decorative sleeves, which can be wrapped around plastic pots. With plants that will remain potted, you can accent the corners of your patio or yard, without making permanent changes to either area. 

Gardening Supplies And Decor

If you are attempting to live a more sustainable lifestyle and would like to feel the pride associated with supplying your family with fresh fruits and vegetables, starting a garden or planting some fruit-bearing trees may a project that you would like to attempt. Ask a garden center associate to suggest seed or tree varieties that are hardy and popular in the region you reside in.

Plants that cannot survive in cold temperatures will need to remain indoors until next spring. Buy a mini tabletop greenhouse to start plants in. Choose decor that will complement a new garden or tree border. Landscape lighting, wooden stakes that can be hand-painted, netting, and outdoor furnishings are some items that will enhance the new addition.

If you decide to buy a series of wooden stakes, use stencils and acrylic paint to add the name of a crop variety or some pictures to each stake. Use the stakes to mark the areas where new seedlings are growing.
