Gardening

Gardening is the care of a plot of out-space ground devoted exclusively or partially to the growing of plants. Gardening is the act of arranging plants harmoniously in their surroundings.

Gardens could either be made of artificial or natural materials or both. The act of gardening is an activity that involves planting and maintaining flowers and plants within a given outdoor space.

Lawns are however flower beds or a vegetable patch, it is a much newer concept than gardening.


A gardener’s job is numerous as well as sensitive.

An expert gardener must adhere to several basic processes which include;

·         Combating weeds and pests such as fungi or animals (especially insects) that could endanger the garden. Garden pests could disturb the soil thereby stunting plant growth, damaging plant appearance, etc.

·         Create distance between garden plants to reduce competition for soil between them.

·         Watering, Pruning and even conditioning the soil.


Other than these basics, the gardener assesses the complexities of temperature, wind, rainfall, sunlight, and shade found within his garden boundaries.

  • How to get rid of Garden Pests.
  • ·         Use of Pesticides (This is very sensitive because if done without caution, can cause the death of the plants and flowers.)
  • ·         Setting up barriers.
  • ·         Hand-picking the pests.
  • ·         Remove already infected plants and flowers.
  • ·         Use of certain fertilizers to improve plants and flower’s resistance to pests.
  • ·         Getting rid of pests at their initial stage to prevent an infestation which would be harder to treat.
  • ·         Practice good garden hygiene like disinfecting or sanitizing garden tools before they are used in pruning, watering, or clearing out weeds.
