There are many aspects to garden planning that need to be considered if you want your garden to be a success. It does not matter how old a hand at gardening you are or the fact that you are a novice gardener – for everyone planning is essential. It may be a good idea to take a large sheet of drawing paper and make a plan of your garden. This will come in handy when you do an assessment of your garden. Make your garden planning process a fun one and you will enjoy the results a whole lot more.
We will begin by considering the space factor. Walk around your garden and think about how you would like it to look. Remember, in order to preserve the ecological balance both flowering and non flowering plants should be planted. Think about what you will plant and where in the garden you will plant it. Take note of where the water connection is situated and study the ground carefully. You don’t want water to stagnate or drain poorly. Spend a day tracing the path of the sun across your garden and study the play of shadows. Highlight the areas that don’t get sunlight at all or get very little sunlight. You can mark all your observations on your garden plan.
Once you’ve got the space all sorted out you need to consider the aesthetics of the garden. Now is the time to unleash the creative genius lying hidden inside of you! You need to blend plants and flowers, green lawn and trees and any statutory like fountains together. You are in effect harmonizing the overall effect to make an aesthetically pleasing garden that you can enjoy every time you gaze upon it. Fountains and birdbaths, gnomes and other garden fixtures can be found at competitive prices but you need to take the time to shop around. Set up the garden first, you will be better placed to know what to add to it.
Colors are what make a garden beautiful and you can choose just about any colors you want because there is no right and wrong when garden planning. The colors you choose will depend on the garden you are planning. You may want a wide range of colors to make a real splash or you may prefer a really simple color scheme. Whatever your choice, it’s your garden and you should be able to look out at it with pleasure. Grouped plantings with different colors can be quite attractive especially from a distance. If you choose single colors the overall effect may border on dull.
If you are going to be planting near a fence or boundary wall, some sort of flowered creepers may add to the riot of color, which is no bad thing. Plantings against the house can be vines that will give your garden some shape and a certain amount of height.
The use of ornamental rocks, small garden statuary and other colorful objects will all go towards making your garden a truly aesthetically pleasing place to spend time in.
