People have almost worked hard to design and maintain a beautiful garden with herbs, grass, flowers and dwarf fruit trees. But those people have some worry about their garden if they are going for a vacation. It should not to worry in this case, instead we can prepare our garden on the day before we leave for vacation. The Garden furniture and other objects which is placed in the garden should be removed and to be put in the shed. This is to avoid the brown spots in the yard, if you are going to vacation for 2 to 3 weeks.
We should cut the grass by the mower and leave the clippings on the ground, which help to retain moisture and helps to protect the roots in summer heat. This also helps to return the nutrients to the soil. We can also edge the yard and garden, and then sweep the cuttings back to the grass. By trimming the hedges and bushes, we can put the waste to the compost pile. The dying flowers and the dried seed pods can be removed which helps to encourage the new blooms growth.
It is also good to apply any organic fertilizer, if it is needed for the yard and garden. Then we can leave some water for the garden which does not depend on the rain. After doing all these things and go for a vacation, on return you may see your garden as fresh and lovely as left by you.
