Garden maintenance involves the regular care and upkeep required to keep a garden in good condition. This can include a variety of tasks, such as:

1. Weeding: Removing unwanted plants that compete with your garden’s desired plants for nutrients and space.

2. Pruning: Cutting back overgrown or dead parts of plants and trees to promote healthy growth and shape.

3. Watering: Providing plants with adequate water, whether through manual watering or irrigation systems.

4. Fertilizing: Adding nutrients to the soil to help plants grow and thrive.

5. Mulching: Applying a layer of material (like bark, straw, or compost) around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health.

6. Pest and Disease Control: Monitoring plants for signs of pests or diseases and taking appropriate action to manage them.

7. Lawn Care: Mowing, aerating, and fertilizing grass to keep it healthy and looking its best.

8. Seasonal Tasks: Adjusting care routines based on the time of year, such as preparing plants for winter or planting seasonal flowers.

9. Soil Care: Testing and improving soil quality to ensure it supports healthy plant growth.

Effective garden maintenance ensures that plants are healthy, the garden looks attractive, and the overall environment is sustainable.
