Garden Styling
with the Secret Garden
Little Lessons. Big Love. Garden Magic.
Welcome to our growing patch of gardening wisdom! Whether you’re a fresh sprout or a seasoned sunflower,
we’re here to help you dig a little deeper, grow a little stronger, and fall head over boots in love with your garden.
🌸 1. Know Your Patch
Every garden is its own little universe. Pay attention to your light, soil, and microclimate. Got a shady corner or a sun-drenched patch? The right plant in the right place makes all the difference.
🌿 2. Feed the Soil, Not Just the Plant
Every garden is its own little universe. Pay attention to your light, soil, and microclimate. Got a shady corner or a sun-drenched patch? The right plant in the right place makes all the difference.
🌼3. Water Wisely
Morning is best. Water deeply, not just on the surface, so roots grow strong. And remember: not all plants are thirsty! (Succulents, we’re looking at you.)
🌻 4. Love the Locals
Choose plants that thrive in your climate and feed the bees, birds, and butterflies. They’re the original garden party guests, and they always bring good vibes.
🌼Golden Rule:
Care for your garden with intention—water deeply when it counts and choose plants that belong where you live.
Strong roots and local blooms will reward you while nurturing the bees, birds, and butterflies that bring your garden to life.
🌼Golden Rule:
Always prune just above a leaf node
(that’s where new growth sprouts from!).
🌱 5. Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment
Gardening is all about learning and trying new things. Not everything will work – and that’s okay.
Have fun, play with colour, mix textures, and make it your own.
✂️ 6. Prune with Purpose
Regular pruning keeps your plants healthy and full of new growth. Deadhead flowers to encourage more blooms, and trim shrubs after flowering to keep them neat and happy.
🧤 7. Tool Time
The right tools make the job easier (and more enjoyable!). Invest in a quality hand trowel, secateurs, gloves, and a kneeling pad. We stock beautiful, long-lasting tools designed for real gardeners – no plastic gimmicks here!

🌿 8. Grow Your Own
Whether it's a pot of basil on your kitchen bench or a full veggie patch in the backyard, growing your own food is incredibly satisfying – and delicious. Start small and let success lead the way.
🍅Starter Stars:
Cherry tomatoes, silverbeet, parsley, and mint are great beginner-friendly crops.
🧚♀️9. Create a Sanctuary
Gardens aren’t just about the plants – they’re about how they make you
feel. Add a little bench, a wind chime, a birdbath, or a statue from our collection to invite stillness, wonder, and joy into your space.
🕯️Garden Magic:
Tuck in a solar lantern or fairy lights for a little nighttime enchantment.
