August Blossoms: Gardening & Design
Berkeley Garden
Hello Garden Enthusiasts and Design Lovers! ✋
As we bask in the warmth of August, it's a fantastic time to both reflect on and enhance the beauty of our outdoor spaces. This month, we're excited to share some tips, tricks, and updates to help your garden flourish and your designs shine.
🌸 Garden Highlights:
Late Summer Bloomers: August is the perfect time to enjoy the vibrant colors of late summer flowers. Consider planting echinacea, black-eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses to keep your garden lively and full of interest.
Harvest Time: Don’t forget to harvest those summer vegetables and herbs. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchinis are at their peak. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and maybe try a new recipe!
Mulching & Watering: With the heat of summer in full swing, ensure your garden beds are well-mulched to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay. Regular watering is crucial—early morning is the best time to water your plants.
Planning for Fall: Start thinking ahead to fall. It’s a great time to plant perennials that will give your garden a head start next year. Consider varieties like asters and chrysanthemums for autumn color.
🎨 Design Spotlight
Outdoor Living Spaces: August is ideal for enjoying your outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a cozy seating area or a stylish patio, now’s the time to spruce it up. Add some new cushions, fairy lights, or a chic outdoor rug to refresh the look.
Garden Art: Incorporate garden art to add personality and charm to your landscape. Think about adding sculptures, wind chimes, or decorative planters that reflect your personal style.
Sustainable Design: Embrace eco-friendly design elements. Rain barrels, composting bins, and native plants not only enhance your garden but also benefit the environment. It’s a win-win!
