You can <strong>compost it and use it<\/strong> for your plants, to provide them with enough nutrition and ensure that they are healthy. Create a full list of everything on your property that you can compost and <strong>start a compost bin<\/strong> that will store all of that.<\/p>\n<p>Global warming is a common term. While <strong>you may not think that your small garden can help<\/strong> in producing oxygen, a <strong>collective effort with everyone doing something to create a better future<\/strong> with less pollution.<\/p>\n<p>You can help<strong> preserve wildlife<\/strong> by creating habitats for small animals like birds, insects and so on.

Yet, there are still people out there who love and grow their gardens, planting trees, fruits, vegetables and flowers.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>many different types<\/strong> of gardens. Not everyone has access to large backyards or sprawling spaces; <strong>sometimes you have to get creative.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some garden types that can<strong> inspire you<\/strong> to create your own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Container Gardens<\/strong> &#8211; These are small gardens planted in something that is man-made &#8211; <strong>pots, planters, wheels, hanger plants and so on.<\/strong> This is the simplest type and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so popular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raised bed gardens<\/strong> &#8211; If you want<strong> more area for planting,<\/strong> raised bed gardens could be a good option. You can create a vegetable patch, plant flowers or berry bushes. They are built with wooden planks and filled with soil in order to protect your plants. They are <strong>easier to water and grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fruit and vegetable gardens<\/strong> &#8211; If you want to build a self-sustainable home, this is a great option. You\u2019ll have plenty of tasty food. While it may seem overwhelming at first, you can do it by simply following the rules, just like with any other plant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flower gardens<\/strong> &#8211; Because many people like flowers more than growing fruit and vegetables, there are flower gardens as well. In fact, <strong>most people grow a beautiful mix<\/strong> of both. One variety is the rose garden.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other types of gardens like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butterfly gardens<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Indoor gardens<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Community gardens<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Woodland gardens\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pick one type which suits you best or mix and match things types that you think would work well together and get gardening!<\/p>\n<p>Do you have great green thumb?
