The Psychology Behind Gardening: Another Point of View
This article is the point of view of an psychologist on gardening. He makes some good points but I still believe that there is just something beautiful and serene about gardens and nature in general.
I don’t know what it
is about a garden that has always drawn humans to them. But they’ve always been
very popular, and an integral part of peoples’ lifestyles. Most religions feature
gardens as the settings for some of the biggest events. According to Christianity,
humanity was started in a garden and the son of God was resurrected in a
garden. The Buddhist builds gardens to allow nature to permeate their
surroundings. Almost every major palace and government building has a garden.
But what’s so great about them? They’re
just a bunch of plants, after all.
Picking the Ideal Location for your Garden
Once you have picked what garden you want, there are many
other factors you need to decide before you actually get to work with your
gardening tools. Mainly you need to choose its location. This is usually
decided by several factors: How you will water it, how much shade it needs,
etc. Some of these questions can be very important in deciding whether your
garden lives or dies, so don't take them lightly. You need to take each one
into special consideration.
Choosing the garden's location within your yard is one of
the more important things to decide. You want to choose a location that will provide
an ideal climate for the plants in your garden. I don't know what type of
garden you're dealing with so I can't give you specific advice, but if you do a
Google search for the plant you're dealing with then you'll find a plethora of
sites informing you about the perfect conditions for its growing. After this,
it's just a matter of finding the most shaded or most sunny spot in your yard.
