16 Resources for the Beginner Gardener

By Manuela Williams

16 Beginner Gardener Tips and Tutorials.

Do you want to start gardening this year but don’t know where to begin? As many of you know I love gardening and have been gardening for years. I actually started vegetable gardening because I wanted to serve my family organic veggies but couldn’t afford to do so. So I decided to grow my own! I slowly started increasing my garden every year to include not only vegetables but berry bushes, fruit trees, and herbs. If you’re new to gardening you are probably doing lots of research trying to figure out where to start. Well, look no further! I’ve put together a collection of wonderful Resources for the Beginner Gardener (and I’m sure experienced gardeners will find some good info too)!

16 Resources for the Beginner Gardener- New to gardening? Here are 16 gardening articles every beginner gardener needs to read! | how to start a vegetable garden, beginning gardening, tips for new gardeners, #gardeningTips #gardening #vegetableGardening #ACultivatedNest

Learning how to garden is a rewarding pastime whether you want to do it for fun and relaxation, or whether you want to save some money by growing your own vegetables! There is lots of information here to help you get started.

16 Resources For The Beginner Gardener

When you start gardening you will realize it’s not hard and can be a stress relief and fun. Check out these helpful links to get you going. I also wanted to give you a few pointers for starting out:

  • Location is very important. Keep in mind whatever you are planting and how much sunlight it needs. You don’t want to plant something in a shady area that prefers several hours of sun a day. The location is very important for your garden.
  • Do your research. Learn about the plants you are wanting to grow. It’s a good idea to understand how much water they need, if you need to give them plant food, what plants they grow well or poorly next to, and the ideal soil for them.
  • Make sure you have access to water easily. Trust me, I am speaking from experience here! Have access to water nearby is very important. You don’t want to have to transport it long distances if you can avoid it. Watering plants with a watering can is only fun the first few times. After that, you’ll wish you planted your garden closer to your garden hose!
