Garden ties are flexible materials used in gardening to support and secure plants as they grow. They help keep stems upright, prevent breakage, and guide plants to grow in desired directions. Common materials for garden ties include soft twine, fabric strips, and plastic-coated wire. These ties are essential for various plants, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and climbing roses. By using garden ties, gardeners can improve air circulation and sunlight exposure, leading to healthier plants and better yields. Properly securing plants also makes it easier to manage garden space and maintain an organized appearance.
