How do I Make my Garden Look more Appealing?

I'm Amy Grisak with North 40 Outfitters. And we're going to talk about how to make your garden even more beautiful. Now, the flowers are gorgeous and the vegetables definitely have their appeal, but what makes it even nicer is when we can decorate it and really give it our personal touch, plus with practical application as well.

Are there Practical ways to Decorate my Garden?

Now, there are so many ornaments that are available for us in the garden today. A lot of times we can use the solar. Everything known to man is under solar anymore. And not only are they beautiful during the day, but at night it turns your garden into a completely different oasis. There's also bird baths, which are fantastic because they bring a little water into the garden, which is so important when you're encouraging the birds to stick around, because they're eating the pests that you don't want to eat your vegetables, as well as the beneficial insects. So adding just a little bit of water to the garden really creates a habitat that's good for all of us. There are different practical applications too, such as these wasp traps that are absolutely gorgeous along with being effective into luring them to their deaths, so they are not bugging you at the picnic table. And there are decorations that have been around for centuries.

What is the Best Timeless Decoration for my Garden?

One of my favorites are the gazing balls. These originated about in the 13th century in Venice, Italy, and have been with us ever since. They became popular again in the United States in the 1930s. And I'm tickled to death to see them coming back. So whatever you choose, look through that garden section, see what catches your eye and really make your garden your own personal oasis, that space that is so beautiful to you.
