Flower Gardening For Beginners – the Secrets No One Tells You

👉️Free Gardening Training

👉️About This Video
When I was a beginner gardener, I didn’t know what to plant, how to plant it, where to plant it… nothing. Over time, I learned a lot… It just took me SO MUCH TIME. So, I put together this beginner’s guide to flower gardening to give you the answers to the questions that you don’t even know you need to ask, yet.

These are the flowering gardening beginner tips
1. Where you live matters… a lot; know your gardening zone
2. There are different classifications for plants; perennials, annuals (and biennials too)
3. You can’t grow plants without sun… and they all need different amounts.
4. Pick plants based on your soil contents… don’t modify your soil to suit your plants.
5. Simple math will help you to space your plants properly.
6. You need to water, feed and shelter your plants (just like babies).
7. How to plant your first plant into the ground: planting basics
8. Planting is not permanent; so don’t stress

So, what is your favorite gardening tip? You know… that thing you wish you knew before you got started gardening? Leave your tips in the comments below!

Greeting's from Ireland. There was a man who ten years ago had no more interest in gardening than the man on the moon. We moved out of Dublin and bought a cottage in rural Ireland and my wife would keep a few pot's of annual's around the front of house. One day she asked me to dig a flower bed at the front of the house job done I thought but oh no she wanted me to help her plant the bed. I followed her lead and planting those flower's created a spark and I went digging and digging and planting and planting. Now we have over fifty pots of perennial's and four flower garden bed's in the front garden and a no dig vegetable plot out the back.. The ironic thing is my wife does not bother with the garden and I think she got me started because she thought I'd like it even though I didn't.

One thing that I learned the hard way is that some box garden stores and nurseries sell plants that are not zone specific. 😮 You sort of mentioned this, recommending special care for these, this is called a micro climate. It takes a lot of trial and failure to find these micro climates in your garden. Along this same line, anyone planting in desert heat, take the full sun verses shade recommendations with skepticism. I have a lot of shade elements in my desert garden but most of these areas still require full sun plants because my desert sun is very strong. This has been a costly process determining what is truly shade in my yard. Thank you for the advice! Well worth the time 😊

Great video! I wish I had this when I started gardening. My biggest mistake as a new gardener 12 years ago was regardless what the tag said, I would plant a shade lover in the sun and vice versa but when I realized the plants were not doing well I'd dig them up and put them in a more appropriate place and most of them are still thriving in my garden. I still push the boundaries and find many plants will do okay. The other big mistake was thinking I did something wrong when a plant died. Sometimes they die and sometimes even a location that appears great for a plant doesn't necessary mean the plant will thrive . Thank Amy.

I've been gardening off and on for the past 50 years or so. Being moved by the Air Force for 20 of those prevented me from doing at least some digging in the dirt. The things I really appreciated from your video here was how to calculate the water needed during he first year, and making the sunlight diagrams and charts. It would drive my wife crazy when I would dig up and move a plant because it wasn't doing well where I first put it in. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Perennials are the way to go in SE Texas zone 9a. Don’t let her make you think different. Our heat eats annuals for breakfast!!

This is the first video I've ever seen that answered the question about how much do you water plants LOL. And I've been gardening for 5 years intensively. Thank you

The sun map is an awesome tip. I have a shady yard with a few spots that get six hours or about that. I’ve been watching where I get the most morning sun and even midday sun. My yard is big and I forget what’s where. I’m definitely starting a sun map this weekend. This will make plant management so much easier.

Garden centers here in Winnipeg sell perrenials that do not survive in our zone 3. You have to check the tags carefully or goole it.
