Zen

Here, the motto is: less paving, more plants. As you will see, this has a relaxing effect. And not just because the view is calming but also because actively engaging with nature is a kind of meditation. This is a chance to leave your life in the fast lane in exchange for some slow-motion me time. Having more plants in a garden also improves water management. Flower bulbs play a significant role in the garden because they provide the very first flowers of the season. Discover the top 4 flower bulb combinations and zen out.

Extend the enjoyment

Why combine flower bulbs instead of planting just one kind in the garden? Planting a combination of flower bulbs will make your enjoyment last even longer.
