A garden is a serious responsibility.
Having a garden requires a lot of hard work and commitment because you will be responsible for living and breathing organisms.
The repercussions of not taking this responsibility seriously could lead to a waste of money and time, or worse, the death of your prized plants.
A garden is a serious investment.
The price of a garden can range from a few hundred bucks for a simple planting of some shrubs and it could reach thousands of dollars for intricate designs implementing several complicated design elements like ponds, sculptures and many others.
Either way, that is money you won't get back if the plants in your garden wilt and die.
So, what is the motivation of a person to build a garden in the first place? If you consider all the hard work needed and add the fact that it will require more money, it seems to be more trouble than it is worth.
Despite this, however, more new gardens keep sprouting up in all the corners of the globe.
Gardens can mean different things to different people.
Each person has a different reason for going to a garden and as such they have benefits that are unique to the person experiencing it.
