Your landscape is now ready. Everything is in place and it looks beautiful and it is the envy of the neighborhood. But are you overcome by an overwhelming feeling that there is too much to do in your garden? Take a deep breath and get down to the task at hand, one part at a time. Experts advise that creating smaller sub-gardens within your garden by apportioning it into smaller areas and tending each one of them separately will keep you in control of your garden.

Let's face it. Gardening lovers can all be green thumbs, but too much at one go can turn anyone into all thumbs! A beautiful garden needs to be nurtured, cared for and maintained for it to remain beautiful. I have a friend who was overwhelmed when he first saw his completed one-acre garden. He divided his garden into mini-gardens, an idea he picked up during a visit to a friend's garden and today has another garden that is almost twice as big. Splitting his garden into smaller mini-gardens gave him the clear focus he needed to work on it in parts and so, tend it as a whole.

He advises that this tried and tested plan works on a garden of any size, as you can accomplish so much more, irrespective of the time you spend on it. Undiluted efforts will show you better results over a period of time.

The premise of this idea is this: smaller gardens mean focused efforts on one area at a time. There is regular rotation involved and all the areas get the best of your energy and efforts this way. Keep in mind to choose low-maintenance plants. You can also add mulch to retain moisture and control the growth of weeds.

Some of the best advise I could give would be to not take on more than you can accomplish at one go, though. Enthusiasm is fine, but gardening requires long-term dedication. Dividing your garden into smaller mini-gardens means you'll enjoy the process so much more as you will get more done in little time.

You can divide the tasks as per your convenience. Treat it as you would your daily responsibilities - laundry on Monday, grocery shopping on Tuesday, so on and so forth. Following this practice makes for easier gardening and a greater sense of accomplishment.
