Watching a plant grow and flourish under your care is one of the most satisfying feelings there is. Whether you’ve grown your own fruit and vegetables from seed or picked up a houseplant at the garden centre, the feeling of achievement is the same.
However, whether you’re new to gardening or a seasoned planter it is far too easy for this feeling to slide into disappointment when your seeds fail to germinate or your plant meets an early demise. A study by Miracle-Gro found that 92% of people rate themselves as a beginner or intermediate gardener, and it’s this group that often blames themselves when they come up against a gardening mishap.
