Introduction
Designing a garden is one of the most satisfying projects you can do for yourself. Not only does it give you a chance to express your creativity, but it also provides you with fresh air and exercise. And if done right, your flower garden design will be something that everyone comments on when they come over! So how do you create an amazing garden design? All you need are some basic tips and tricks that will help guide your project from start to finish. If you’re ready to get started designing your own outdoor oasis, read on!
Focus On The Ground Level First
The easiest way to get a sense of how your new flower garden will look is to start working with the ground. Planting the ground first is much easier than planting the plants. It allows you to see how everything will work together and if your ideas are working as well as they should be. It also lets you move things around until it looks just right, which can make a big difference when it comes down to planting something in its final location.
It’s much easier to make changes on paper than in real life!
How To Create A Color Scheme
Color is a powerful tool in the design process. If you want your garden to look good, you need to choose colors that work well together and help create visual flow. To do this, it’s important to understand how colors interact with each other.
A color wheel is a handy tool for understanding these relationships. A basic color wheel uses primary colors (red, yellow and blue) along with secondary and tertiary combinations of those three hues. By combining those four color elements in different proportions, you can create dozens of different shades of every hue imaginable!

Choose Plants From The Same Hardiness Zone
- Choose plants from the same hardiness zone.
- Choose plants from the same region.
- Choose plants from the same family.
- Choose your garden based on plants with similar characteristics, such as plant height or flower color, rather than just selecting any plant that catches your eye at the nursery or home improvement store.
Consider The Sunlight Each Plant Needs
The first step in choosing plants is to consider where you need them to live. The location of your garden will determine what plants grow best, and how many you can use without overcrowding. For example, if you want to put a flower bed in an area that gets full sun all day (6 hours), then it’s safe to say that you won’t be able to plant any shade-loving flowers there (i.e., ferns or hostas). If however, this area ONLY gets 3 hours of sunlight per day near the end of the afternoon and evening time frames – then those very same hostas would thrive!
The amount of sunlight each plant needs can be considered by taking into account their “sun tolerance rating” or their USDA Hardiness Zone classification system tag on each item sold at local nurseries and garden centres across North America (which is usually attached right above its price tag).
Type Of Garden You Want To Have
So you have an idea of what type of garden you would like to create and now it’s time to decide how easy your design will be on yourself.
- Easy To Maintain: If you want a garden that takes care of itself, then plants that grow wild in their natural habitat and don’t need a lot of intervention from humans are your best bet. These include things like succulents, grasses and perennials. For example if you live in the desert or somewhere hot then cacti are perfect for this type of environment because they thrive on heat and direct sunlight – no watering required! (I know I live in New York so my cacti aren’t getting much direct sunlight but they do require some watering every once in awhile). Also choose plants with colorful blooms such as tulips or daffodils so they can act as color accents around the rest of your greenery throughout the season.
Design Tips for Getting The Most Out Of Your Planting Layout
- Focus on the ground level first. The easiest way to create a unique garden design is by starting with the lowest point, and working your way up. This will help you determine what plants will thrive in your location, which is essential for creating a long-lasting garden that looks great as well as being functional.
- Create a color scheme. Once you’ve decided on what plants will be planted where, try using each one to bring out different shades of color in your landscape design. For example: If you have blue flowers and red berries together in one area of your flower bed then they’ll complement each other nicely!
- Choose plants from the same hardiness zone or region. It’s always best if you choose plants that are native to your region because they’ll be more likely to survive during harsh winters than exotic imports would be (and therefore give more enjoyment).
