Easy Gardening: Grow Vegetables, Herbs and Flowers at Home!

Discover how to grow your own food in your backyard and start cultivating vegetables with ease.

Plant vegetable seeds using simple containers, sow one seed per hole, and cover with a light soil layer or vermiculite. Water and keep in a warm greenhouse to foster seedlings.

Discover how to grow herbs and use them with vegetables, starting from plants in the ground. Learn simple maintenance and storage tips, and how long herbs last.

Learn to grow herbs from seeds by researching online, choosing oregano, planting in a six inch pot with soil, labeling varieties, and watering every two days in sun.

Compare annuals and perennials: annuals live for one season and die after frost, while perennials return year after year, and annuals often offer more color.

Discover how to grow your own vegetables at home using a raised bed, or garden space, or pots, and learn how to prep everything you will need.

Assemble a garden bed, fill with dirt and peat moss, and plan plant spacing while considering do-it-yourself options with plywood or plastic to reduce weeds.

Choose vegetable plants you enjoy and want to eat, including peppers and zucchini. Space each plant one to one and a half feet apart.

Prep the raised bed by weeding and adding fresh dirt, transplanting vegetables with wet roots into a straight hole, then enjoy daily harvests of cherry and grape tomatoes and lettuce.

Showcase your raised garden beds by sharing photos and videos from your project on Facebook, and connect with Bouchard Gardens to inspire fellow gardeners.

Learn how to start flowers from seed, transplant them, and explore ideas on how and where to plant to add color to your garden.

Choose large patio pots with colors and shapes you like, place them in full sun, and ensure drainage holes; drill if needed and fill with soil.

Determine sun or shade for your site, then dig holes sized to each pot and plant flowers and cuttings. Water at the root, keep soil moist, and avoid watering leaves.

Showcase your patio pots and garden by sharing photos on social media. Inspire others to see your work and celebrate gardening at home.

Learn how to plant herbs both outside and inside, space them one foot apart for easy harvest, and choose everyday favorites like basil, parsley, dill, chives, and banana mint.

Water and transplant herbs into well-drained soil or a pot, provide space, ensure bottom drainage holes, and place by a sunny kitchen window for easy harvest.

Place a window-side garden bed in your kitchen for easy access to fresh leaves. While cooking, pluck leaves directly and chop on the cutting board for effortless preparation.

Show the herbs you’ve grown in your backyard or patio pots. Celebrate home gardening in your gardens.

Discover how to maintain your vegetable plants to ensure beautiful produce all season long. Apply essential care steps to keep your plants thriving.

Maintain plant health by deadheading spent blooms, trimming dying stems, and removing weeds by the roots; raised beds reduce weed growth and support healthier, fuller plants.

Explore succulents, their beauty and low maintenance, and create simple arrangements for windowsills, indoors, or gifts. Find succulents at a local farmer or a local grocery store, or order online.

Create a succulent arrangement by transplanting rooted succulents into a pot and spacing them. Water before transplanting, then add sand or rocks to finish a centerpiece or gift.

Showcase your succulent arrangements by taking a picture or video and sending it to Bouchra Gardens on Facebook, and we'll see you in the next video.
