How to Design a Unique Flower Garden…
Actually, there are several ways to design a garden. You can use

of the garden with the chosen flowers, or you can simply play around with chosen varieties and colors. You also might be interested in the

- When choosing and placing plants, it is a good idea to get familiar with the
recommended spacing between plants as well as the height of the plant
when it is full grown. You don’t want short plants hid behind tall ones. Planting them too close together will ruin the whole design.

- Create a focal point. A variety of perennial plants or flower bulbs mixed with annual flowers makes a great garden, but a point that draws attention makes the garden fantastic. Making a focal point may include using trellises with climbing roses, planting bushes, or using garden accessories such as a bird bath, stones, statues, a pond, or a bench.

- Planting in clumps –using three or more of the same plant – makes the garden look more professional and attractive.
- To fill in the gaps, you can use ground cover or ornamental grass, or you can use garden mulch that complements your overall look.
Don’t stress out over flower garden design. You can always learn from your mistakes and flowers can be dug up and replanted or replaced. Procrastinating over the design can make you miss planting season. Get an idea and then go for it! Flower gardening is fun.
