Don’t just scatter seeds and pray something grows! Plan your garden like this #garden #gardendesign
In this one‑minute instructional video, horticultural instructor Nicole Johnsey Burke outlines a concise, step‑by‑step layout for a raised‑bed garden. She begins by recommending a border of herbs and flowers along the bed edges to repel pests, attract beneficial insects, and add visual appeal. The central area of the bed is reserved for the largest fruiting plants, which she trains on a trellis. She then advises planting root crops (e.g., radishes) directly alongside the fruiting plants. Inside the herb border, she places leafy greens, using a mix of seeds and starter plants for quicker harvests. Directly behind the herbs, before the leafy greens, she suggests a biennial such as kale, Swiss chard, or parsley. Finally, she adds “smelly” alliums—garlic, onions, or chives—to provide extra pest protection. The video emphasizes spatial efficiency, companion planting benefits, and pest‑management through plant selection.
