Gardening has become increasingly popular over the past year, with more and more people turning to their home gardens as a way to escape and relax. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, there are always new tips and tricks to learn. And who better to turn to for gardening advice than the queen of all things DIY, Martha Stewart?

Martha Stewart has been a household name for decades, known for her expertise in cooking, home decorating, and more recently, gardening. Her passion for gardening is evident in her beautiful home gardens and the countless tips and tricks she shares with her followers.

One of the best things about gardening is that it doesn't have to be expensive. With a few basic tools and some patience, anyone can create a beautiful, thriving garden. Martha Stewart recommends starting with a good pair of gloves, a trowel, and a hand pruner. These tools will come in handy for everything from planting seeds to pruning plants.

Another essential tool for any home gardener is a watering can. Martha Stewart recommends investing in a high-quality watering can with a long spout for easy access to hard-to-reach plants. A good watering can will also help you save water by allowing you to control the flow and avoid overwatering your plants.

If you're looking to add some color to your garden, Martha Stewart recommends planting a mix of perennials, annuals, and bulbs. This will ensure that your garden has something in bloom throughout the year. She also suggests planting in clusters rather than evenly spaced rows to create a more natural, organic look.

When it comes to maintaining your garden, Martha Stewart stresses the importance of regular pruning and deadheading. Pruning helps to keep your plants healthy and promotes new growth, while deadheading encourages more blooms. She also recommends adding compost to your soil to provide your plants with the nutrients they need to thrive.

For those looking to take their gardening to the next level, Martha Stewart recommends investing in a greenhouse. A greenhouse will allow you to grow plants year-round and protect them from the elements. It's also a great way to experiment with different types of plants and growing methods.

In addition to her gardening tips, Martha Stewart is also known for her love of cooking and entertaining. If you're looking for gift ideas for the foodie in your life, Martha Stewart suggests a new knife set, apron, or cookbook. These are the best gifts for people who love food or love to cook.
