Striking the right balance is something we all strive to achieve, whether it’s in our work, our normal lives, our relationships and even in our gardens. Yes, our gardens. And when I’m talking about the right balance here, it’s not necessarily just about the way the garden looks, it’s about the way the garden works. We all know gardens come in all shapes and sizes and uses. However, there are plenty of considerations when it comes to establishing a well-balanced garden.
