How can you maintain your everyday garden?

Firstly, you should be knowledgeable about the kinds of plants you are buying and harvesting. Taking this into consideration, you should plant them at the right place. The flowers based on their species prefer their own climatic structure.  Some plants may need direct sunlight while other plants may only need partial sunlight. Similarly, there are plants which prefer shady areas as well.
