1. KEEPING IT LOW MAINTENANCE
More mess equals more stress is a saying that is not limited to the indoors, which is why a disheveled garden can leave homeowners feeling overwhelmed. Considering the busy world we live in, gardeners will be looking for ways to simplify their gardens in 2019.
  • Include mostly perennial plants that will come back each year and group them together based on their watering needs. For plant suggestions, talk to a master gardener in your community or attend a local garden tour to get ideas.
  • Consider removing messy trees or shrubs that don’t provide any ecological benefits. (For example, a tree that drops leaves into your pond or pool; a shrub that creeps into an oft-used pathway.)
  • Invest in an irrigation system that can do the dirty work for you while you’re away.
  • Do your research when selecting hardscaping materials. Choose quality stones that won’t require repair after a short amount of time or pavers that don’t need to be cleaned constantly. Contain gravel pathways with robust edging.
Low-maintenance gardens, drought-tolerant plants and less turfgrass have become the norm in landscape design. Homeowners now assume sustainable design will be a major part of the plan — both for economic and environmental reasons. In this design plants were chosen not only for their gorgeous cottage-garden beauty but also for their tolerance of dry summers and wet winters.

keep your garden healthy
One of the most mystifying things that can happen to your garden is when a plant gets a disease. How did it happen? Will it spread? Will all my vegetation die? How am I able get rid of it? The most important thing to understand about disease prevention is something referred to as the disease triangle. Disease can only happen when three things coincide: you have a plant which could get unwell (a host), a pathogen (like a fungus, virus or bacterium) that could attack the plant and environmental conditions (like humidity or drought) that promote the disease. If one of these things isn`t always present, the disease will not occur, so prevention involves knocking out at least one side of the triangle. Rather than waiting for a problem to pop up in your garden, take into account the best defense against disease to be an awesome offense.
