Set aside a few hours a week to work in your garden. You can use soaker hoses to save time on watering. Soaker hoses also prevent damage to your plants that can be caused by too much moisture on the foliage which can attract insects, plant diseases, and fungal infections. It is best to water early in the day.

Time must be scheduled to weed the garden. Nothing can spoil the beauty of a garden like an invasion of unsightly weeds. Weeds take up moisture that should be going to the plants that you like. They also rob the soil of valuable nutrients.

Pruning, cutting back, and dead-heading (the removal of spent blooms) will encourage new growth and help keep shrubs lush and healthy. Find out the right time of year to prune shrubs as the right time varies from plant to plant.

Keep your garden free of debris. Fallen leaves can carry disease or harbor insects.
Plants need nutrition. You can use chemical fertilizers or add compost to the soil. Many commercial fertilizers run off and wind up polluting local waterways. Compost is a natural fertilizer that really works and adds those needed nutrients over a period of time.
