A healthy garden starts with understanding water. Whether you grow vegetables, flowers, herbs, shrubs, native plants, or container gardens, proper watering plays a major role in plant health, water conservation, and supporting the wildlife that depends on your landscape.
Watering seems simple, but many common garden problems can be traced back to watering practices. Learn how much water plants actually need, how rainfall affects irrigation schedules, and how to avoid both overwatering and underwatering.
