When the term garden is used, most people automatically think of an outdoor closed off area where someone grows flowers or food.  While that is a very popular characteristic of gardening, that is not the only type of gardening there is.  There are many different types of gardening; some indoors and some outdoors.  Regardless of how you choose to plant and cultivate your garden, or even where it is located there are an array of ways you can decorate it.  From water works like garden fountains or ponds to simple decorative planting techniques and even bird baths and feeders, there are many things you can place within any type of gardening. 

Residential gardening is the most common type of gardening.  Home gardens can contain vegetables, trees and even just an array of flowers and bushes.  Often times yard decoration is not thought of as gardening, however, it is.  Planting flowers and trees around your yard is gardening just as much as having a set location near your house is. 

Indoor gardening is also very common, although it is not often referred to as gardening.  Most individuals have some sort of houseplant, and taking care of it is considered gardening.  Of course some people do have full gardens in their home in indoor greenhouses.  This is common in locations where the weather does not allow for gardening throughout the year. 

Native gardening is when individuals plant trees, plants and flowers with the intent of creating or restoring a wildlife habitat.  Many humanitarian groups form their service around this type of gardening.  Not only does it bring more life to the wild but it usually also reduces water uses, ground maintenance and fertilization costs. 

Water gardening is a unique way or gardening that revolves around growing plants in pools, ponds or aquariums.  These type of gardens are quite difficult and require special conditions and considerations.  It is common for individuals who have fish tanks to “aquascape” them using all life plants to surround their fish. 

Community gardening is becoming an extremely popular social activity.  Often times land is donated and given to a community or city so that they have the means to grow fresh food.  The entire community is expected to help plant, water and crop the garden and every member should benefit from the food that is grown.  They are also planted to improve the economy of the neighborhood and form a connection between its members. 

Gardening is not only a great way to beautify the surrounding area, it is also a cathartic and soothing way to spend time. There is something very satisfying about seeing the effort and hard work involved with gardens turn into something that can be beautiful and even nutritious. To add to their natural beauty most people choose to add a garden fountain or a waterfall to the layout of their garden.  Fountains and waterfalls can be created to look extremely natural or decorative.  Natural garden water works are usually made out of wood or natural looking stone.  With waterfalls or even ponds they are created in an area of your garden and cannot be easily moved.  Usually ponds and waterfalls contain fish in the warm seasons.  Fountains are usually the most un-natural looking of water garden decorations.  You can find many fountains with sculptures on them or even intricate designs.  They are usually made from concrete.  Regardless of which water display you choose you need to be sure you get it winterized so it can withstand the colder seasons and be used for years to come. 

Garden waterworks usually attract a wide variety of birds and other wildlife turning  your garden into your personal wild animal viewing area. Garden bird feeders are not only  good for feeding birds, but they are attracted to bodies of water, especially ones that are secluded and thus safer. To make a bird feeder most effective it should be placed by a bird bath or water of some sort.

There are many garden ideas that can be realized with just a little bit of effort and planning. When planting trees, be sure to take into account how large that tree is going to get, it won’t be a cute sapling forever and trees roots are strong enough to tear apart sidewalks, foundations and swimming pools. There are many different tools and garden supplies that can be used, but the simple spade and a pair of clippers are the most commonly used. You can make small improvements to the look of your garden by installing simple things like garden fountains.
