Ready to Build a Garden? Discover 5 Ways to Build the Perfect Herb and Vegetable Garden in St. Louis, MO

5 Tips on How to Build a Garden in St. Louis, MO & Surrounding Areas

Summertime and that sunny weather is a great time to take care of and maintain a garden. If you are improving your existing garden, or do not have one yet, here are the 5 ways to build a garden as well as the perfect herb and vegetable garden.

All your garden beds do not have to be the classic, in the ground beds. Preparing the soil for such a project can be time consuming and depending on where you live, the soil might not be the best it can be. Building and framing a raised or elevated garden is the way to go. Use this to section off different kinds of plants in your garden, or to start from scratch and create a convenient bed.

Another creative way to garden is vertical gardening. If you have a patio and are in need for some privacy, lattice screens with climbing plants, or stacked planters are a great way to conveniently plant a lot of vegetables and herbs in one small space.

When you build a garden, it cannot be complete without a fence or border. Get creative with the materials used for fencing from wood, composite, stone, and more. Different stains, textures, paint colors, and more can give you exactly the look you need all while keeping out any pests.

Use potted plants to give your garden a variety or more levels. These can be accents or a convenient place to keep small patches of herbs or vegetables.

As you start planning your garden, the most important step is to make sure you know what kind of soil, water, and sunlight your plants specifically need. This can influence or change the entire set up of your garden.

Take your time and do your research when you build a garden for your herbs or vegetables. From fences to planters and custom framed beds, you have many options. Start planning today and enjoy your garden in no time.
