Summer is a time to celebrate longer days, sunshine and flowers at your Charlotte home. Setting up a garden is the perfect way to create an oasis in your own backyard. Even high rise dwellers can set up a garden on a deck, balcony or sunny windowsill. A Charlotte home gives you great access to city amenities with the joy of the outdoor world all around you.
Your Charlotte home gets abundant sunshine, creating ideal conditions to grow a variety of plants, trees, shrubs, vegetables and herbs. Imagine sitting under a spectacular shade tree in your own yard having a picnic. Picture yourself in a fragrant flower bed surrounded by a rainbow of colors. Consider picking your own fresh veggies and herbs to cook with. All these pleasures can be yours in a Charlotte home.
When you start a garden, consider soil, native plants and irrigation methods. Your garden will need plenty of water to thrive. You also have to ward off native plants that could choke your new garden. If your garden is indoors, you must consider sunlight and how to hydrate the plants. Whether you garden inside or outdoors, you’re sure to derive hours of pleasure from your plants.
If you don’t know how to get started, check out magazines and online resources. For over 20 years, Carolina Gardener Magazine has helped Carolina residents plan beautiful, successful gardens. You can also hire a professional landscaper to set up gardens at your Carolina home and explain to you the best way to maintain them.
Now is the ideal time to shop for a Charlotte home of your own. You can see how the outdoor living spaces look during the peak season. This helps you decide what type of improvements and additions you want in your yard. Housing prices are down and mortgage interest rates are competitive, making it a prime time to buy a Charlotte home.
If your budget is around $1,000,000, you’ll fall in love with a 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath Dilworth home with flexible living areas, walk in closets, screened porch and covered rear porch. For those looking to spend closer to $500,000, check out a handyman 3 bedroom, 2 bath Myers Park home with a large backyard abutting a spring fed pond. If your budget is about $250,000, consider a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath Belmont home with a courtyard.
