How to Choose, Plant, and Care for Garden Shrubs | On A Budget

If you're a beginner or intermediate gardener looking to add shrubs to your garden, this video is for you! We’ll guide you through everything you need to know about choosing the right shrubs, planting them correctly, and caring for them so they thrive year-round. Shrubs (also known as bushes) are the backbone of a garden – they provide structure, color, and interest in every season. And the best part? You don’t need to break the bank to create a lush landscape. Join us in this friendly gardening guide as we cover all the essentials of shrub care, from selection and planting to watering, feeding, pruning, and positioning. 🌳🌼 In this video, you'll learn: Choosing the right shrub for your garden: How to select shrubs that suit your climate and conditions (sun or shade lovers, evergreen vs. deciduous) and match the space you have. We explain how to read plant labels and consider height, spread, and hardiness so you pick the perfect plant for the right place. Planting techniques for success: Step-by-step planting advice for new shrubs – from preparing the soil and digging the hole to using a bit of bone meal or compost for healthy roots. Learn the proper planting depth and spacing (important for future growth!), plus tips on backfilling and firming the soil. Watering and feeding tips: How to keep your shrubs happy and hydrated. We cover watering schedules for new plantings (hint: keep them moist as they establish) and ongoing care, as well as feeding strategies to boost growth. Discover when and how to fertilize or mulch your shrubs to ensure they get the nutrients they need. Pruning made easy: Simple pruning techniques to shape your shrubs and encourage blooming. Find out when to prune different types of shrubs (without cutting off next season’s flowers!) and why most shrubs can be trimmed to size and still flower at the right time. We’ll show you how pruning helps maintain a manageable height and keeps plants healthy. Best positioning and garden design: Where to plant and position shrubs for maximum impact. Learn about spacing plants based on their mature size so they don’t overcrowd each other, and get examples of placing shrubs in the right spot – for instance, sun-loving varieties (like the vibrant blue Ceanothus, or California Lilac) do best in bright, south-facing areas, while other hardy shrubs might prefer partial shade. We also talk about planting near walls or fences and using shrubs to create structure or privacy. Budget-friendly gardening advice: Tips on filling your garden with beautiful shrubs without spending a fortune. We share why buying smaller nursery shrubs can save you money and how with a little patience and care (regular watering and good feeding), those small plants will quickly grow into flourishing bushes. Create a gorgeous garden on a budget by choosing cost-effective plants and helping them establish fast. 🌱💰 By the end of this video, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to grow a variety of shrubs in your garden. Whether you’re planting an easy-care evergreen for year-round greenery or a flowering deciduous shrub for seasonal colour, we’ve got you covered. With these tips on choosing, planting, watering, feeding, pruning, and positioning, you can enjoy a thriving garden filled with healthy, beautiful shrubs. Happy gardening! 🌿🎉
