Garden Interview

Here is an interview with my friend Briley who is a plant fiend and is majoring in Agriculture Business.

What is your experience with plants?

I have taken care of gardens at my grandpas. Plants included strawberries, rhubarb, and peppers. I worked at the Green View Nursery back at home over the summer which has variety of plants.

What are some easy beginner plants?

Geraniums, marigold, petunias is what I recommend for beginners. These are easy potted plants to use as home décor. Also, roses bushes are great because they are hardy plants.

Where do you get your plants?

Local nurseries because you can have a more personal interaction and it’s more informative. Also, it helps give back to local businesses. And if you want organic seeds I would look online because it’s the easiest.

How often should you water the plant?

If it’s a hot season, water every single day. If it’s raining be careful to not over water the plants since that could kill them too. Overall, if the soil is dry water the plant.

What are some tips that could help take care of your plants?

Promix soil mixed with the original soil is a good start. If you notice the plant still isn’t doing well, then you can use a synthetic or organic fertilizer, but only in a small amount.

Benefits of having a garden?

At home gardening is very therapeutic to the mind, body, and sole. If it’s a vegetable garden then you can produce your own produce. It helps give back to the environment and it helps make your back yard look pretty.

Hopefully this interview gave you a better understanding about gardening.
