As the weather gets warmer, you’ll likely be spending more time outside — and that may inspire you to revamp your garden.
Need some tips and inspiration for a beautiful garden overhaul? How about planting an eye-catching, bold selection of plants? Before you head to the nursery, learn how to create a transformation that’s grand in all the right ways:
Try Mass Planting
One of the best ways to increase your garden’s visual impact (while keeping maintenance straightforward) is to go big with a mass planting. Select one type of plant, shrub or flower that you love, and plant a lot of it.
Sometimes, a beautiful plant gets overlooked when there’s a wide variety of others to look at nearby. Mass planting makes your favorite the star of the show.
Go for Height
Adding height to the visual landscape of your garden has a few benefits. Positioning taller plants behind shorter ones creates a balanced appearance and helps hide anything distracting like the garden hose or a hole in the fence.
Be mindful of the amount of sunlight that will be hitting your tall plants, though. You’ll want to make sure any shorter plants are getting sufficient light.
Include Bright Colors and Unique Textures
Feeling creative? Make an impact with bold colors and shapes and contrasting textures. For example, a fantastic way to conserve water and go bold is to plant succulents. They come in a stunning variety of textures with accents of bright colors.
If you want your plants to be the focus, keep decorative pieces and pottery designs simple so they don’t become distracting.
