Create a Sensory Oasis in Your Garden

 

This month let's talk about creating a fully immersive garden experience that engages all of your senses. From fragrant flowers that enhance your garden to tips for decorating your front porch with plants, we've got you covered. Plus, we'll help you tackle garden pests like grub worms with practical, natural, and organic solutions. 

 
Beautiful flowers

We often talk about selecting plants based on their purpose—create shade, divide spaces, provide privacy, etc.—but if that purpose is to provide fragrance, these 20 plants will do just that. Choose from some of our favorite shrubs, bulbs, perennials, annuals, and vines to add another layer of enjoyment to your garden.

"It's easy to forget how important fragrance can be to the overall enjoyment of a garden, not only by evoking pleasant memories, but also by allowing us to experience the garden even with our eyes closed."

 

Engaging All of Your Senses in the Garden

Hopefully all of us have a garden full of plants that are pleasing to look at, as well as some plants that smell or taste wonderful. But have you taken the time to also incorporate plants or items that engage your sense of touch or that are pleasant to listen to? Learn how to create a fully immersive garden experience by getting all of your senses involved. 

 
Bird Eating Grub in Garden

It's no doubt that gardening brings us joy, but it can also be frustrating—especially when it comes to dealing with pests like grub worms. As soil temps begin to warm up, these (not so little) worms wake up from their winter naps and begin feeding on roots. Learn practical, natural, and organic solutions to get rid of these garden pests.
