✅5 Essential Gardening Tips for a Thriving Outdoor Space

At ALTA Garden Care, we believe a beautiful garden starts with simple habits. Whether you’re in Cooranbong or the Central Coast, these foundational gardening tips will help your outdoor space thrive.

1. Know Your Soil

Healthy soil is the root of every great garden. Test your soil’s pH and drainage to understand what plants will thrive best.

2. Water Smart

Early morning watering is ideal. It reduces evaporation and gives plants time to absorb moisture before the heat sets in.

3. Choose the Right Plants

Pick native and seasonal plants for better growth and less maintenance in the Lake Macquarie climate.

4. Mulch Matters

Mulching helps retain moisture, control weeds, and enrich the soil. Organic mulch is best for long-term garden health.

5. Don’t Skip Seasonal Maintenance

Pruning, weeding, and fertilising should be done regularly to keep everything tidy and growing strong.
