Gardening on a Budget

Gardening by the Yard : Episode GBY-109 -- More Projects »
To get the most from your landscaping dollar, there are a few tricks to know when preparing to plant.
  • Many "checkbook gardeners" employ professional services to prepare a beautiful outlay of plants. The drawback? A costly figure! The traditional gardener can do some impressive work with little more than dedication and a seed catalog, which provides a better selection of seeds than a local nursery and allows you to reap the rewards of an extraordinary garden while saving money in the process!
  • Another way to save money is to construct nursery beds. This inexpensive method of growing plants requires little patience as well as little money.
  • Forming garden clubs is a great way to exchange plants and gardening know-how.
  • Buying plants in bulk or separating one large plant into smaller portions will also help stretch your landscaping budget.
