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.
