Garden Design Ideas For Your Next Garden
Walking down your neighborhood street you’ve probably seen some beautiful landscapes and artistically designed gardens and wondered where people get their garden design ideas. They get their ideas through careful planning and are probably inspired by a few other gardens in the neighborhood, too. If you’re interested in creating your own garden design ideas but you need a few tips and a little help you’ve come to the right place. Here are some great gardening tips that will make your garden design ideas look like they came from Eden.
Measuring
Your yard’s current layout will play an intricate part in how your own garden design ideas work. You’re going to need to measure everything like your current shrubs and trees (plus the trees’ drip line), steps, walkways, etc. and then re-check your measurements. Once you’re sure of all your measurements then you can either put your information in on a virtual gardening program or you can draw out the measurements on a graph paper.
Plot Planning
Choose where and how large of plots you want your garden(s) to have. This is much easier to do with an aerial view because you’ll be able to see how much regular yard you’ll have, too. A few garden design ideas are impossible to do so plot planning will help you figure out exactly what you can do.
Placement and Exposure
Some plants require shade in order to grow adequately. Perhaps you have a bench planned in one of your many garden design ideas that you’ll likely want placed in the shade. You’re going to need to know what sort of exposure to sun different areas in your yard get during the spring and summer months.
Color Palette
There are tricks using colors to make garden design ideas pan out beautifully. Colors like purple and blue give a “far away” effect and feel. If you want your house to seem further from the street put blue morning glories. Blue and purple hued plants also have a cooler feeling which can be nice on those exceptionally hot summer days. Put a few purple and blue plants in the shade next to your summer reading bench. For a closer, warmer feeling use gold, orange, red and yellow which will draw eyes and people towards your garden.
What to Keep
After you’ve had your garden for awhile you probably have a few plants that keep coming back year after year. You have to decide if you’re ready for a change or which plants you want to keep from last year. This is very vital in garden design ideas because if you have multiple garden design ideas you might want to implement a few new ones after a few years. That certainly makes your gardening time fun.
Each spring is an exciting time for any gardener because it’s the perfect time to implement one of your many garden design ideas. Have fun being creative and giving your own garden a special touch of Eden.
