To have a garden that looks good from all angles, it is important to have a plan and stick to it. When creating your garden, make sure to orient the plants in such a way that they are consistently visible from every direction. This will result in a garden that looks uniform from all angles, making it easier to maintain.
There are many different types of plants that can be enjoyed all year round. Some plants, such as roses, can be enjoyed for their coloured petals that come in various shades throughout the year. Other plants, like peas or beans, can provide a bounty of food in the fall and winter months. Whatever your favourite plant is, it is important to take into account your climate when selecting one to grow. If you live in a hot climate, consider growing plants with thick leaves and lots of water retention such as succulents. If you live in a cold climate, try growing plants with thin leaves and little water retention, such as ivy or bonsai tree. Regardless of the type of plant you choose to grow, taking into account your climate will make your indoor garden much more enjoyable.
Planting should be done in layers to keep plants cool and moist. One above the other, or in groups, is a good way to go.
I chose a colorful border to set off the more sedate plants. It really brightens up the area and adds some life to a space.
Adding a fountain or water feature in your garden will add interest and beauty. Sculptures, fountains, and other water features can also be used to create a focal point in your yard.
Different plants and flowers can satisfy different tastes. For example, a person who likes sweet tastes may enjoy roses, while someone who prefers bitter tastes may prefer lavender. Similarly, someone with a strong flavor preference may enjoy wildflowers that have strong odor, such as rosemary or sage. Ultimately, it is important to find plants and flowers that appeal to you and your personal taste preferences.
In the spring, plant tulips, daffodils and forget-me-nots in the garden. For a summer bouquet, try jonquils, roses and honeysuckle. In the fall, consider planting oaks and maples, as well as turnips, apples and pumpkins. In the winter, add holly, berry shrubs and palm trees to your flower collection.
Stone walls and pathways are a great way to add character to your garden. You can use different types of stones, or stained or painted stones to create a unique look. You can also place plants in between the stones, or use them as steppingstones.
