Garden Advice in 6 Words

I saw a post on a different subject that challenged the writer to provide advice in 6 words.  So I took up the cause and came up with ten garden advice tips.  

---

1. Provide wide paths in your gardens - as I get older I have come to appreciate paths to provide easy access to garden beds. 
2. Go native with plants and mulch - what comes naturally in the landscape reduces workload.  Native plants can tend themselves and mulched plant materials and leaves provide an easy mulch. 
3. Grow what you like and enjoy - experimenting is all fine and dandy but a little of it each year is enough.  
4. Embrace nature with natural common elements - a dead tree stump, a rock garden, natural ground cover makes it easier on the gardener. 
5. Sometimes a little effort is enough - no need to overdo it. 
6. Messy gardens can be more natural - see above, same concept. 
7. Bring the garden close to you - locate herbs by the back door, thirsty plants by the water source, the vegetable garden by the kitchen.
8. Go gentle with avoiding garden pests - less and more natural pesticides and herbicides. 
9. Be intentional to showcase your garden - a mowed path might be all that is needed to offset a garden bed or an area left natural. 
10. Diversity is the key to health - if there is only one type of plant in your yard and it gets hit with a pest or disease, all the rest of the same type may be susceptible.  Grow variety.
