🧭 What Type of Gardener Are You?

Before you dig in — let's find out what kind of gardener you are!

👉 Choose one option below:

  1. 🪴 The Urban Balcony Farmer — I grow in pots, planters, or vertical spaces.

  2. 🧑‍🌾 The Backyard Botanist — I have space for beds, borders, and maybe a compost bin.

  3. 🌿 The Wild Wanderer — I love native plants, wildflowers, and eco-friendly methods.

  4. 🌼 The Sunday Waterer — I enjoy it, but I’m not a daily gardener.

🌞 Golden Rules of Gardening

Let’s keep things simple and strong. These are the 5 golden rules to thrive in gardening — click the emojis to expand the tips!

🌱 1. Right Plant, Right Place

➡️ Choose plants that match your local climate, light, and space. A desert cactus won’t thrive in monsoon rains!

💧 2. Water Wisely

➡️ Water early morning or late evening. Don’t flood; just moisten the root zone.

🍂 3. Feed the Soil, Not Just the Plant

➡️ Compost is gold! Add kitchen waste, dry leaves, and cow dung to enrich the soil.

🌻 4. Observe Daily

➡️ A quick morning walk through your garden helps you notice pests, dryness, or blooms.

🧤 5. Love & Patience

➡️ Plants grow slowly — and that’s okay. Enjoy the journey!
