The answer to 'garden dying' is that there are several common causes, including overwatering, underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, pests, and disease. Symptoms may include wilting, discolored leaves, stunted growth, and dying plants. To troubleshoot the issue, check the soil moisture, look for signs of pests or disease, and test the soil for nutrient levels.

For minor issues, homeowners can often resolve the problem through adjustments to watering, fertilizing, or pest control.
