Shade tolerant plants, such as camellias and azaleas, are perfect for hot climates. For cooler climates, choose plants that can tolerate moist soils, such as rhododendrons and mountain laurels. Annuals, such as petunias and impatiens, are a good bet for gardens in warm climates. Gardeners in colder climates may want to consider perennials such as hardy ferns or heucheras.
When it comes to garden design, one important consideration is how to take advantage of natural features in your yard. For example, consider installing a water filter and using gentle rock walls to filter rainwater before it enters the ground. Alternatively, consider installing a natural drainage system that takes excess water away from your plants instead of letting it run off the ground. Each of these features can help improve your gardens overall drainage and help ensure that your plants receive the clean water they need.
I should like to have a garden that can accommodate my needs for vegetables, fruits, flowers and plants. I would also like a garden that is designed to conserves water and has an environmentally friendly approach.
