Who would not get envy to the beautiful and artfully perfect garden in your neighborhood? Thinking of having one but don't have that green thumb? Gardening may not be easy but it takes time and effort to have one.
I went to visit my aunt in Calgary last weekend. Her neighbors have a lot of beautiful flowers and plants. Especially now that it's already Spring time, all of the flowers are blooming. There is a house across that street that has a fiberglass window box planted with petunias and begonias. The colorful flowers are so lovely and inviting. Since my aunt don't have that plants and flowers I asked her to have one and I could help her. She asked me to list down the needed materials.
Here is my list:
1. compost
2. fertilizer
3. window box and brackets
4. flowers such as begonias or lobelias
The next morning, we woke up early and started our gardening plan. Uncle Ron started to mount the brackets to hold the window box. It doesn't cost us a lot to buy the fiberglass window box because we bought it through window.com. It's easy for us to purchase it online and have it delivered immediately. We choose the fiberglass window box because it is low maintenance. It didn't give us a hard time looking for the size that we need because they have it, in different sizes and lengths.
We mount the window box and put the compost in it. We also mix the compost with fertilizer. We planted it begonias and lobelias which is perfect for Spring. You can also read my blog on how to plant a window box. We are so excited to see the result. And yes, we did it. We now have that neighborhood envy garden.
