Not much beats the feeling of spending time in your thriving garden. Harvesting fruits and vegetables and then using them in dishes for family and friends, having access to fresh herbs and aromatics at whim, and simply sitting outdoors in the space you’ve created will add richness and a sense of accomplishment to your life. But the process of beginning a garden can be daunting – where to start? A garden should be a reflection of your personality as you decide what to grow and what to include, but we’ve compiled a list of some great products that can help you get started. These are five of our favorite gardening essentials that can serve as a jumping-off point for your imagination.
The fun doesn’t end here of course – there are so many directions you can take your garden in once you have the basics in place.

We recommend picking your favorite flowers to plant around the herbs and vegetables as well, to add color and enhance the atmosphere of brightness and bounty. With these tried-and-true starter products, you’ll have a solid foundation and be well on your way to having a beautiful, vibrant garden that you can enjoy for years to come.
