How to choose what plants to add to your garden
So that your garden is bursting with colour for years to come
Hi darling, I’m Kendall, a horticultural therapist. Here on my Substack, I share tips on how to use your garden to grow your personal power in a world that tries to keep women stuck, exhausted & burnt out. Come grab your trowel and join the rebellion, we’ve got a patriarchy to dismantle.
Welcome to the Seed, the place where you’ll learn to resource yourself in the garden using 5 minute mindful gardening activities so that you can unlock more joy in your life.
Rabbit in headlights springs to mind, as the overwhelm makes you want to run out the door as fast as humanly possible and never look back.
I am of course talking about the annual trip to the garden centre.
You arrive excited and ready to choose some plants to brighten up the garden in Spring.
But the reality is, you get inside, see the vast selection of plants and your brain goes ‘What the fuck do I choose?’ and promptly shuts down.
In this week’s post, I’m outlining the different types of plant you can add to your garden, why I advocate for some over others, especially when you don’t have hours and hours to be spending in the garden. And also how to ensure you choose plants that will thrive in YOUR garden.
So that you can go to the garden centre armed with a list of plants to buy that will look fucking gorgeous year after year and that garden centre induced overwhelm will be a thing of the past.
