Common Mistakes to Avoid

Gardening teaches through trial, but some lessons you don’t need to learn the hard way.
Too much love can drown a plant. Too little light can stunt its soul.
But every mistake is a step closer to mastery.
New gardeners often overwater, crowd plants too closely, or choose varieties unsuitable for their climate. Poor drainage, inconsistent care, and neglecting sunlight needs are other common pitfalls. Another frequent issue is ignoring soil quality or using the wrong type altogether. Avoid these early mistakes by starting small, researching plant tags, and observing your garden daily. Progress in gardening is slow—but it blooms with patience.
