[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen you first began gardening, do you remember that moment that you noticed your very first tiny green sprout? I recall a feeling of pure joy. For me, it was a package of pole beans that I had planted a few days earlier. I was proud, excited and hopeful all at the same time.
As time went by, my garden grew. I learned how to care properly for my rose bushes, cage my tall peony flowers and grow the most flavorful cherry tomatoes. Then, I started to notice the production of my plants wasn't always at the level where I wanted it to be. My tomatoes would have lush foliage, but not as many fruits as expected. My rose bushes looked healthy, but I didn't have as many blooms for my cut flower arrangements as I wanted.
It's very important to me to implement organic methods into my garden, so I was timid about adding in fertilizers. I didn't know where to start and what to look for. I knew I wanted a productive garden, so I began to do my research.
Along with having healthy soil and adding in companion plants, it's also important to feed your plants regularly. Providing your plants and lawn with the nutrients they need to thrive is easier than ever. Take these simple steps with BioFlora to have your best garden ever!
ENJOY HEALTHIER PLANTS AND BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOMS
When using fertilizers, you want to make sure you are giving your plants exactly what they need. Ask yourself what your garden is lacking. Is your soil missing the nutrients that helps produce healthy plants? Are your harvests not up to par? Do you notice that your grass isn't looking as lush as you want it to be? I have the perfect solutions that will help you with these problems.
LUSH GRASS

I love combining together edibles and flowers! Pictured here is euphorbia and peppers. I made sure to add BioFlora Dry Crumbles® into this container garden when planting. One month later, the vigor and growth has really amazed me!
STIMULATE GROWTH
WITH SEAWEED CREME
Using BioFlora Seaweed Creme® will help you increase yields, create drought resistance, provide frost protection and aid in stress recovery. Scientific research has confirmed that seaweed is the secret ingredient!
- Seaweed contains concentrations of trace minerals, micronutrients, amino acids & vitamins essential for plant growth.

- BioFlora uses a safe non-extraction method, one with ambient temperatures, and enhanced by patented ionic minerals. This helps create a high-quality product that will nourish your plant's roots and blooms.
WHAT IT IS: A growth stimulant that’s made from hand-harvested, sun-dried and homogenized Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed that grows in the cold waters of the North Atlantic.
USES: Foliar spray, root drip and transplant drench, vegetable and flower gardens, hydroponics, hydroponic soil drench.
I am a firm believer in planting for pollinators. Here is one of my raised beds in the veggie garden that contains tomatoes, beans, onions and more. I made sure to include scabiosa, nasturtiums, helenium and more for the winged visitors. This is the substantial growth I've experienced after watering with BioFlora Seaweed Creme® for three weeks.
I was really drawn to BioFlora's dedication to offering pollinator friendly organic garden practices. They believe in offering us gardeners eco-friendly options while helping us provide safe foraging habitats in rural and urban areas.
BioFlora is founded on the premise of being “stewards of the environment,” and offers alternative products to insecticides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers for sustainable or organic gardening that promotes the health and vigor of all plant life and supports pollinators.

June 29, 2018 at 6:24 pmThanks for this great information and for the helpful suggestions. We are thinking of starting a garden on the unused side of my house which would be great, but I have hesitated because I want to make sure I am doing it right and planting the right things. This was inspiring!
