Although you may plant gorgeous plants and make sure that your soil and environment is healthy, this doesn’t guarantee that your garden will be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. There are a variety of things that can be done in order to improve the aesthetic quality of your garden. While many resort to hiring professional landscapers, not everyone can afford that option within today’s economic situation. So what can a gardener do to improve upon their simple home garden?
Utilize Your Natural Setting
If you’ve already situated your patio or lawn chairs, then you have a pretty good idea of your visitor’s eyelevel. Ideally, a garden is most attractive when it is just below eye level. So how do you go about creating this kind of ambience when the ground is so much lower? Start planning out which areas of your yard will be dedicated to constructing garden beds that are raised.
One of the best spots for raised flower beds is around your designated rest areas. Do you have a yard area where picnic tables, stone benches, lawn chairs, or other outdoor furnishings are already situated? These spots can be used to your benefit as a garden designer. Build your raised flower bed around the seating areas. Try adding cheery, brightly-colored flowers to the layout of the garden furniture you have situated. If you are planting veggies, you can even use this area as the spot for all of your brilliantly-colored produce. You may be how surprised how quickly your garden plans go from fine to fabulous!
Are You Inclined to Use Your Incline?
I hope your answer is yes! Perhaps you would really like a colorful raised garden, but you don’t have the time to create one. It is time to use your incline. If there is an area of your yard that has a slope, you can use it to your advantage. Simply utilize this area to the full by supporting the edges of the bed with stones or bricks. You can concentrate on beautifying just the raised area itself, or you could even have your garden extend down the slope into a beautiful “flowerfall.”
