Spring is officially here, and whether you just bought your dream house or are trying to sell your gorgeous Indio real estate, planting a spring garden is a great way to beautify your property and enhance its curb appeal. Since we’re already experiencing beautiful sunny weather in the Palm Springs Valley—which we get to enjoy nearly all year long—now is the perfect time to get started. The good news is, gardening is easy to do, even for beginners. Read on for some tips for planting a beautiful spring garden.
Container gardens. While container gardens are some of the easiest for beginners to plant, the payoffs are significant—they can easily spruce up a patio, terrace, windowsill or deck. Try filling containers such as pots, planter boxes and hanging baskets with flowers that will overflow and brighten up the environment. If you own Indio real estate, you can also group cactus plants of different sizes to infuse some desert landscape into the mix, or cluster plants of different shapes on a potting table for a unique look.
Greenhouses. While they may sound like a daunting project, greenhouses are actually easy to maintain once installed. However, if you live in an arid climate like the Palm Springs Valley, you must make sure your greenhouse is well-ventilated and stick to a consistent fertilization and watering schedule.
Watering. When you live in the desert, a regular watering schedule is essential for healthy plants and to prevent them from drying out. Establish a regular system and keep a hose and watering can easily accessible at all times.
Get creative. If you have a little experience with gardening, why not take your landscape to another level with a rose garden? Or if you have a courtyard, fill clustered plants in antique pots on an outdoor table.
