Backyard walkway: If you have green space outside your backyard, you can clean up the overgrown perennial beds and refresh with gravel paths or bricks that connect the landscape’s many nooks and crannies. Add a bench if you like.
SUMPTUOUS garden and sweeping view, wouldn’t you want to have both for your front and backyard?
The best flower garden designs incorporate several types of blooms, including long-living perennials, short term but beautiful annuals, seasonal bulbs, ornamental grasses and vines.
Before you start planning your garden, find out what is best for you, the life cycle of the plants and how to ensure that they survive a long time.
Different plants perform differently in the garden. You need to know their limitations such as suitable weather, soil conditions and bloom time.
You also have to consider their height before making selection. For example, if your garden is a border along the house, tall plants will need to go at the back but shouldn’t block the windows or doors. If your flower garden design is an island, the taller plants should go in the centre but make sure not to place the shorter ones too close.
Remember that plants shaded by larger trees may not grow well so take individual plants’ needs into consideration.
Once you’ve decided on your flower garden design, shape and size and the type of flower plants and trees that you are going to use, and whether or not you are going to place any benches or garden chairs, you can start to freshen up your front or backyard to look like a million bucks.
Check out the following ideas to make your landscape look glamorous.
Sweeping views: You can enjoy sweeping panoramic view from your own private space by adding a pool in your front or backyard and a pond with koi fishes. If you don’t have the space, you can place some garden chairs and enjoy the moment. Plant some tall trees for shade.
Elegance: Get trees that don’t just grow tall but also wide. Consider trees that bloom tiny white or purple flowers a bonus. You can then go without having to place flower pots that take up space. Those trees will add colour to your home.
Roses: Who doesn’t love roses? Choose a variety of colours like shades of red, pink, yellow and orange, and plant them individually or group them together to create a garden of roses. Remember roses can grow very tall if they are well taken care off and that would help you build your own “rosy corner”.
Garden arbor: Homeowners can plant trumpet vine on structures that make up an arch, leading to your garden. Add some colour to the sides with selected flowers that enjoy the sun.
Flower garden: Freshen up your flower garden with roses, petunias, lilies, lavender or just about anything that you can find in the nursery that is easy to maintain. Make sure to get flowers that live easily under the sun.
The colour purple: Believe it or not, purple is one of the most popular flower colours before red, pink, white and so on. There are different shades of purple from light lilac to deep violet, and different purple flowering plants. The more popular are lavender, bellflower, dwarf iris, lily of the nile, bittersweet nightshade, cattleya orchid, and cosmos. Plant them anywhere you like to add cool, deep hues to the yard.
