A limitless wealth of possibilities awaits the hobby gardener looking for beautiful flower bed ideas, regardless of whether the future garden is the front garden of a terraced house or several hectares of outdoor space. But that blank slate can be daunting if you don’t yet have a clear idea of what you want. Here’s a guide to get you started and some gardening ideas to help narrow down the options.
How do you lay out flowers in a flower bed?
“The most important thing to think about is the mature height of the different plants you want and following the north-south rule of thumb,” says Lara Hermanson, the executive director and co-owner of Farmscape, which designs and builds urban gardens and farms managed. This means planting your larger plants on the north side and the smallest on the south side to maximize potential sunlight.
“Aesthetics are important, but if you put a six-foot tomato plant in front of small shrimp flowers, they won’t get enough sun,” she explains.
Spring garden design looks particularly great, colorful and impressive if you plan it in autumn. It’s wonderful to see beautiful flowers and vibrant spring colors brightening the garden landscape after the long winter. Spring flower beds create great contrasts with fresh green leaves and warming days with yellow and red colors.
Flower beds with perennial flowers, spring bloomers and bulbous flowers are ideal for spring garden design. Colorful flower beds, seen from the window, improve mood and bring joy to life. Landscaping rocks and evergreen shrubs provide a pleasant backdrop for displaying spring flowers. Planted under a tree or next to a garden path, spring flowers look particularly enchanting.
Spring flowers do not like to be in the shade and only bloom later in the spring in cold and windy locations. Planting perennial flowers under bushes not only looks creative and attractive, but also protects spring flowers from wind and cold. Spring flowers, ornamental plants and perennials create beautiful flower beds with greenery and well-weeded and mulched areas.
