It's fun, easy + rewarding to set your goals
Not sure what to focus on to get the most from your garden space? It may help to get inspired with some practical goals to make your own list. Here are a couple to get started. Grab a paper, pen & any photos or magazine pics. Jot down ALL your ideas. You can refine your list later!
Start your creative Wish List process
A simple goal is to have a garden plan. No matter how much space you have, you can design your space to work better FOR you. It's amazing how many edibles you can grow in a tiny but well-organised kitchen garden.
Design ideas for an edible urban backyard
I’ve designed my edible kitchen garden to also be ornamental. The colours, fragrance & flavours can all add to your health and enjoyment. Many herbs have both culinary & medicinal uses. Edible crop flowers are pretty & productive. You can take a 2 minute virtual tour video of my 2014 Kitchen Garden at https://animoto.com/play/2ZWiS69kNMlMqIYOTbIYLA#.
In a busy world, a garden gives you the opportunity to feed your mind, body AND soul by creating a sanctuary space. If you love what your garden looks like, believe me, you’ll enjoy spending more time there. It can nurture your health and wellbeing in so many ways.
