Since no one seems to think twice ...

Hi

A magic garden need not advertise its powers. It can be your secret with the Earth. Since no one seems to think twice about herbs or fruit trees growing in a garden, on the stairs or in window boxes, why not pick plants that will bring wealth, protection and love to your home?

Does it mean: Since no one is surprised seeing herbs or fruit trees growing in a garden or on the syairs or in window boxes, so why not choose plants (maybe different then herbs and fruit trees) that would bring to you wealth, protection and love?

Is it what that sentence says?

The author is saying that you should pick plants that have the desired properties (they bring wealth, etc.) and that don't attract attention.

To put it another way: Don't select unusual plants that might attract unwanted attention when you can just as easily select plants with the desired properties that don't attract attention.
