Does springtime make you want to get outside and dig in the dirt? Plant or pick flowers? Many people feel that way. No matter the season, you can get your garden growing with these easy, step-by-step garden drawing tutorials.
What type of garden would you like to grow? Do you want to focus on growing fruits and vegetables or pretty flowers? Either way, you can use these drawings to design your garden or create a map of it.
You'll find lots of yummy veggies and fruits in the list below - lettuce, okra, beans, asparagus, herbs, corn, garlic, apples, and so much more.
There are also many varieties of flowers. You might recognize some of them, such as the lilies, poppies, or sunflowers. You might discover flowers you've never heard of before, including azaleas, dahlias, and lupines.
Gardens don't just contain plants - animals live there too. You can sketch a bird feeder to attract feathered friends to your garden. Flowers also need pollinators.
