I am obsessed with Martha Stewart. As someone who develops recipes for a living and lowkey lives to garden (and cook for my friends), she is my ultimate inspiration. Her love for gardening and cooking has inspired me to start my own home garden, and I've learned some valuable tips from her over the years. In this article, I'll be sharing some of my favorite Martha Stewart home garden DIY tips, as well as a delicious fish burger recipe that she created.
Gardening: Go vertical to expand your outdoor gardening space, create privacy and add beauty to bare walls and fences. This centuries-old technique has been used to create lush gardens in small spaces. Martha Stewart recommends using trellises, hanging baskets, and wall planters to grow herbs, flowers, and vegetables vertically. This not only saves space but also adds a unique and beautiful element to your garden.
Home Decorating: Your home garden can also be a beautiful and functional part of your home decor. Martha Stewart recommends using plants to create natural room dividers and adding greenery to your living spaces. She also suggests using herbs and flowers to add color and fragrance to your home.
Landscaping: When it comes to landscaping, Martha Stewart suggests creating different zones in your garden to add interest and functionality. This can include outdoor seating areas, vegetable gardens, and flower beds. She also recommends using natural materials like stone and wood to create pathways and borders.
Remodeling: If you're looking to remodel your home, don't forget about your garden. Martha Stewart suggests creating an outdoor kitchen or dining area to enjoy meals with family and friends. She also recommends adding lighting to your garden to create a beautiful and inviting atmosphere at night.
Home Restoration: If you have an older home, you may need to restore your garden as well. Martha Stewart suggests using heirloom plants and flowers to create a timeless and classic look. She also recommends adding birdhouses and bird feeders to attract wildlife to your garden.
