Best way to take care of flowers in a garden?

I have a small garden filled with flowers but i don't know what is the best thing to do to take care of them. Does anyone have a solution on what i should do?

You must live in a very different climate to me...however, when my flowers are in bloom, I deadhead them regularly to encourage them to flower for longer. To deadhead means taking off the fading blooms with thumb and finger or secateurs.


This works as the flower wants to produce seed and flowering is the way to do this. By deadheading you are thwarting it and it keeps having to make more flowers to make the seed.
