• Select the best flowers - Well, almost all flowers look awesome and there are hundreds of varieties of flowering plants in this world. But the sad part is you cannot grow every one of them in your garden in Enfield, EN2. You have to make a decision and select a few categories of flowers which will become a part of your garden. Planting the best and most appropriate kind is highly important so be wise. While selecting your plants, don’t just look at their colour or texture. Do a proper research of their features and needs. Broadly there are two categories – Perennials and Annuals. Perennial flowers grow every year and do not require replanting while annuals grow only once a year and need to be replanted every year. Also, check for native flowers because generally native plants grow quickly compared with others and have natural shielding against diseases.

The plants in your back yard are directly depended on water for their growth; hence it is crucial to water them in the right proportion.
