People who have backyards tend to take a great amount of time deciding what to do with all the extra space in their yards. One good investment is to cultivate a backyard garden. However, deciding on what to grow in it is another decision. This article will help you choose what type of garden to grow in your backyard.
Flower Garden. Proponents of flower gardens argue that flowers make their backyard more aesthetically valuable. A well planned and organized flower garden will make any backyard filled with intense colors and scents.
Flower gardens will easily attract pollinators such as butterflies, bees and birds which will add to the natural beauty of your backyard. When it is well-planned, you can have a backyard that is blooming with flowers throughout the year. Having a flower garden will also ensure that flower vases inside your home are always filled with beautiful flowers that can make any day, even the gloomy days, bright.
Some flowers such as lavender and

Vegetables do not have the most attractive flowers to attract birds, bees and butterflies. To make sure that these pollinators find your vegetable plants, have flowers with high nectar content planted along side flowering vegetables. This will attract more pollinators that will pollinate both the flowers and the vegetables in your backyard garden. Flowers that have shades of yellow, blue or white such as sunflowers, cosmos and zinnias are ideal for attracting pollinators.
* For Attracting Beneficial Insects. If you are like most people nowadays, you will want to opt for organic foods. This means that you want foods that are free from synthetic pesticides. Attracting beneficial insects which kill insect pests is a more scientific and organic approach to getting rid of the harmful ones. Insects such as ladybugs, praying mantis, and parasitic wasps are beneficial insects that are attracted to certain flowers and herbs such as parsley and flowers from the aster
Even though the two gardens are different like how people are different they both give insight to what the gardeners are thinking. Even though the gardeners dictate what happens both are students when it comes to the master of nature mother nature herself. This reminder is shown when the had to replant “ some pines and cleaned the pond” even making a new bridge after a storm. This also shows that new beginnings are always possible. Just like in the book Matsu disappears when Stephen is young and had his secrets that were revealed “The garden is a word filled with secrets. Slowly, I see more each day.” (page 31, Tsukiyama) “A wooden bridge arched across its width, and lines of odd-shaped, water worn stones created two paths, one leading through the secluded garden right up to the front door, while the other disappeared around the back of the house.” (page 10, Tsukiyama) Gardens are integrated into Matsu and Sachi’s lives to enter into someone's life/home, first have to know the
The garden is the vehicle in which the narrator reveals her reluctance to leave behind the imaginary world of childhood and see the realities of the adult world. The evidence supporting this interpretation is the imagery of hiding. The narrator uses the garden to hide from reality and the
Because flowers go in cycles of life and death, we can look to them as archetypes. The cycle is really closely related to the circle which is a very prominent archetype in the world today and the past. The other thing I think of when I hear the word flowers is gardens. When I looked for the garden archetype I found that gardens symbolize love and fertility (YourDictionary 2). Flowers and gardens also have many symbols associated with them depending on who you ask.
- Wind: Wind-pollinated plants don't depend on the ability to attract birds or insects, so their flowers tend to be small, drab, unscented and non-prominent. Wind pollinated flowers are specially adapted to be able to make use of even slight air currents. They tend to have lots of small flowers with long filaments and pistils. Anthers and stigmata often project from the flower in order to be exposed to the wind so that pollen can be sent out and received easily.
6. Plant flowers. Plant marigolds, mums, asters, dahlias, and zinnias in your garden. Why? These plants will attract insects that will prey on aphids. Their natural predators include ladybugs, parasitic wasps, and
Before I read this chapter, my understanding of garden is a resting place with flowers and bushes that surrounding by fence. Instead of flowers and bushes, homeless garden is build by largely random materials, such as toys and milk carton. It is not a traditional garden. In additional, it is a place of repose for homeless people or we can say it is temporary home for homeless people. Their home is deliberately constructed because homeless people want to live comfortably. That is why we called it garden.
When it comes to the yards, majority are created from a combination of cactuses and gravel, this means low maintenance unlike having to maintain green grass. It also has its own unique sort of beauty.
To bring all these ideas together, it could be read that the garden is a description of her childhood, filled with innocence, purity, good memories, all sorts of beautiful things that blocked her view of the world outside. replacing the garden with grass is a way of showing that she needs to let go of these things in order to live a life with potential for something greater.
The Chinese garden at the Huntington Library was an extravagant garden. The Chinese garden included water, rocks, plants, architecture, and arts. The Chinese garden created multiple feelings. The flowers in the garden provided a special feeling to the season. The water creates a feeling of a forever ongoing life and the rocks a neutral balance in the surrounding environment. The arts created a feeling that encourages people to look for the literary, philosophical, and artistic traditions of China. The arts created an experience of bringing the historical arts to the people. The empty spaces that were in the garden provided the feeling of spaciousness and uncluttered calm. The texture of the rocks also created the feeling of timelessness and dignity. The Chinese garden had straight walkways or zigzagged pathways. The architecture of the Chinese garden can be felt that it was man made. The architecture has a lot of colors and is very intricate. The buildings look very artificial and formal. The landscape in the Chinese garden is more rustic and has a more natural feeling to it.
Gardening is the activity of planting, cultivating and tending (Oxford dictionary 2015). The origins of gardening, and its fulfilment of a human need, date back to 1500bc where archaeologists discovered ancient paintings of opulent gardens by the Egyptians (Cellauro 2015). Recognition of the benefits of gardening as a therapeutic tool in occupational therapy date back to Hartwell (1933). It provides opportunities for social inclusion which is a central component in well-being (Grabbe et al 2013).
Laura is a 47 year-old woman who present a history of chronic feelings of dissatisfaction her and experiences high levels of anxiety. I will be discussing the Family System Theory developed by American psychiatrist Murray Bowen. The Family System Theory received its foundation from the General System Theory credited to Biologist Ludeig Von Bertalanffy. Bowen suggested that in order to totally understand an individual you must look their family of origin as well. Bowen believed families should be looked at as systems because they are made of elements which are individual family members. Each member has its own unique characteristic and has existing relationships with other members. Each family system has subsystem which are small groups within the whole system. Each system and subsystem has its own rules, regulations and boundaries which shape each individual member.
Pollination is essentially plant reproduction - without help from animal pollinators, our everyday food supply would look much different
Qin Shi Haung Di was the first emperor of the Qin Empire in China during the 3rd century BCE. Born in 261 BCE, Haung inherited the throne from his father at the early age of 13 and showcased his ambitious spirit by unifying China and creating his empire (Swart 1984). While he is known mostly for building the Great Wall of China, he also left quite a legacy when it comes to his elaborate burial grounds. In 246 BCE, thirty-six years before his death in 210 BCE, Emperor Qin started planning the construction of his extravagant final resting place (Swart 1984). The Emperor’s mausoleum was essentially a small, underground city showcasing Qin’s power and influence using different artistic mediums.
The way a nuclear power plant produces energy is by a process called nuclear fission which is splitting the nucleus of an atom. Fission turns water into steam and the steam makes pressure. Then the steam that is made turns a turbine that is connected to a generator and the turning of the turbine forces the generator to produce electricity (“Nuclear Fission”). The energy source for a nuclear power plant is Uranium and it is a very rare resource. Once it’s gone then it’s gone forever and when that happens then we cannot produce anymore nuclear energy. Depending on the demand of Uranium, it is estimated that this element will only last another thirty to sixty years. I am not for nuclear energy because I think that the cons out weigh the pros.
Bees aren 't the only insect pollinators in the world, but they are by far the most widespread ones. Despite this, non-bee insect pollinators have a contributing factor to the success of pollination that the bees themselves don 't. There have been studies on the success of the pollination and 'seeding ' of flowers and plants. Bees have a fairly average success rate, focusing more on spreading the pollination farther afield than the success of the 'seeding '. Non-bee insects tend to stay in a small ranged area that allows them to visit the same flowers more often, thus increasing the success of their visits.
