As relaxing as gardening can be, there are also a lot of decisions to make. From where to plant your garden to water frequency, there’s a lot to stay on top of. That’s why we’ve put together a collection of seed variety packs to help make things easier. Our favorite brands have done the work of putting together seeds that work perfectly together, so whether you’re craving salad greens, looking for herbs, or eager to transition your garden from summer to fall, Thrive Market has everything you need to get started.
Container Garden Tips
Container gardening is a great way to learn the basics or accommodate a smaller growing space. Here are some tips for putting one together:
- Look for plants that tend to be pest-free, like leeks, shallots, and garlic. Another bonus: Their shallow roots don’t require as much room as other plants.
- If you live in a warm climate, light-colored containers will help reduce heat absorption for happier (and cooler) roots.
- Use organic potting soil and fertilizers to help keep plants growing strong.
- Talk with your local nursery to learn about plants native to the area. Since they’re already adapted to growing conditions, they’ll be lower maintenance.
- The best time to water container plants is in the early morning, to help decrease water loss due to evaporation.
