Sometimes, it can feel like an impossible task to keep your plants looking healthy all spring and summer long. No matter what you try, it feels as though your garden doesn't look as good and curated as they do online. But thankfully, one gardening pro has shared her wisdom with budding horticulturalists, to help them make their gardens look gorgeous.
Sabrina, who posts on social media as @sabrina.sustainable.life, shared her best gardening tips to ensure that your green spaces can be as lush as possible - and none of the ideas are difficult to follow.
She began the video by saying: "Three things I wish I knew about gardening before starting."
Sabrina said that "one of the biggest mistakes" that she used to make was watering her flowers and plants from above.
She claimed that watering overhead can "contribute to bacterial and fungal diseases", and instead you should "water your plant at the base of it."
Next, the expert went on to warn people to "avoid getting the foliage wet" as this is a common mistake that could be causing the premature death of your plants.
Sabrina continued to recommend planting marigolds in the garden, as they "help attract good pests, and help deter bad ones", but urged people to regularly check for pests, warning that they often linger on the underside of leaves.
If you find any eggs of pests, simply remove them from your plants.
Sabrina added that if you adhere to these tips, it'll save you time, and money, and will "help you have a more successful garden."
In the comments, people were super grateful for the expert's advice, begging her to share more tips in the future.
One wrote: "Need more of these! I love it."
"These are so helpful", another keen gardener praised.
"You couldn't be more correct", someone added.
