I'm 15 and really eager to dive into gardening, but I honestly don't know where to begin. Other than knowing that plants need water and sunlight, I'm clueless. What are some good first steps, and what plants should I consider starting with? I'd appreciate any guidance!

Getting to know your soil is key. Different plants thrive in different types, so check what you have. Once you know that, ask yourself what you want to grow—veggies, flowers, or fruit? Start small and expand as you learn! The Spruce is a great resource for tips on gardening, too!
Don't stress if some plants don't make it—it's all part of the learning process! Gardening is like a lifelong adventure, so try growing a variety of plants, even the unusual ones. Have fun with it!
Thanks a lot for the advice! It's simple yet really motivating. I'll probably share my journey once I get going!
