Introduction
For those of you who garden, or have thought about gardening, we’ve come up with a few questions to help you determine how much you know about the activity. If you don’t know what gardening is, think of it as simply the cultivation and harvesting of plants. You can use this quiz to test your knowledge of soil, pruning, composting and watering in your garden! How much do you know? Let’s find out!
Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture. In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use. Gardening is considered by many people to be a relaxing activity.

How Much Do You Know About Soil?
Soil is the top layer of the earth, and it supports all life on our planet. It makes up almost 80% of your gardening space. Soil can be made up of organic matter, minerals and water. The organic matter helps with drainage which means that plants get enough oxygen so they can grow properly.
The soil also has beneficial bacteria in it that helps to make nutrients that plants need for growth into food for us humans as well! Soil is a living thing too because it produces organisms like mushrooms which are called mycorrhizae (“myc-o-RHY-zee”) fungi (fungus = plural). This fungus lives in symbiotic relationship with plant roots in exchange for carbohydrates from the plant which help them grow bigger & faster! They give off sugars back into the roots so they can stay alive longer too!
How Much Do You Know About Pruning?
Pruning is the removal of dead, damaged, or diseased wood from trees and shrubs. It’s done for many reasons: to improve the health of the plant, to promote more flowers or fruit production, or simply to maintain a pleasing shape.
If you’re planning to prune your garden tools this season (or even if you aren’t), it’s important that you know how much time and effort goes into maintaining them. Our handy gardening quiz will give you an idea of how much you know about pruning so far!
How Much Do You Know About Compost?
Compost is a mixture of organic matter and water that can be used to amend soil. Compost is a nutrient-rich source of organic matter that can be used to amend soil. Composting is the process by which waste materials are broken down into humus, which may be applied on fields as fertilizer or soil conditioner.
Composting is a great way to recycle food waste and other organic material, but it’s also an important part of gardening in general: without compost, your plants would have trouble growing as well as they do!
How Much Do You Know About Watering?
Watering is essential for your plants. It’s important for plant growth, health and survival. When you water a plant, you are giving it the nutrients that it needs to survive and thrive. Watering is also important because if you don’t water your plants they won’t grow properly or even at all!
What Kind Of Gardener Are You?
What Kind of Gardener Are You?
There are many different types of gardeners. Some are very hands-on, while others are more hands-off. Some focus on appearance, while others focus on utility. The variety is truly endless, but no matter what your style or preference is there’s a gardening style for you!
To get an idea of what kind of gardener you are, ask yourself these questions:
- Do I like to spend time in my garden? If so, how much time do I spend working in it?
- Am I interested in growing food for myself and others (or just for me)?
- Do I value aesthetics above all else or do I care about utility over form?
Garden well!
Gardening can be a rewarding hobby and a great way to unwind. It’s also a good way to get exercise and spend time outdoors, which is why it’s becoming increasingly popular with people of all ages. If you want to start gardening but aren’t sure how or where to begin, here are some helpful tips that will help you get started:
- Start small! Don’t try to take on too much at once. Start off with one plant – maybe something like an herb garden. Then, once it’s established, add another plant such as tomatoes since they grow well together in container gardens. This will prevent your plants from competing for space with each other and keep them healthy so they grow well instead of struggling against one another which would make them weaker overall.*
