- Plant taller plants or trees on the north side of your garden to provide shade for heat-sensitive plants
Planting taller plants or trees on the north side of your garden provides shade for heat-sensitive plants. The north side of a garden typically receives less direct sunlight, so planting taller plants or trees there can provide a natural source of shade for plants that are sensitive to heat. It can also help to regulate the temperature in your garden. The shade provided by taller plants or trees can cool the air and reduce the overall temperature in your garden, making it more comfortable for you and your plants.
Furthermore, planting taller plants or trees on the north side of your garden can create a natural windbreak. The taller plants or trees can act as a barrier to block strong winds and protect your other plants from wind damage.
