Spending free time in a beautiful flower garden is valuable! A blooming garden pays homage to nature, soothes the soul and inspires creativity. Public gardens are filled with interesting designs, but when it comes to planning your own, then you need some ideas for the garden full of flowers. Here they are!
Spring bloomers
The spring bloomers are warmly welcome. Not all plants in a flower garden need to be in the ground, here the pretty flowers of blue hydrangeas fill a number of flower pots. Plus, the pots can be easily moved to add color to other areas of the garden. A short row of boxwood hedge provides visual relief. Plant the flowers in waves of color when designing a flower bed. These pink and yellow tulips represent a first, early burst of blooms in spring. If the planted area is large, walkways should be part of the design so visitors can see the plants. This also makes maintenance easier. Pastel colors – yellow, pink, purple – in lighter tones harmonize in this beautiful landscape.
Enchanting curves
Wavy borders contain beautiful flowers. Mulch is an essential element here between the plants. It keeps weeds down and retains moisture. Use geometry, contrast or complement. Plants are chosen in mostly similar hues - lavender, purple and fuchsia, for example - and offer a calming palette for the garden.
Happy accents
The yellow flowers brighten up the casual flower bed. Instead of a solid material, gravel paths wind through the casual garden. Meadow rue planted at regular intervals along the garden bed provides vertical interest in the garden. Remember the rule of threes: group three of a plant for visual consistency. Here the black-eyed Susan offers a cheerful base for other plantings. Low-growing catnip eases the transition between soil and plants.
Sitting area in the flower garden
Sun loving flowers surround an outdoor table and chairs. Flower beds and furniture are a good pair. If trees and shrubs are not used to define the edge, use another structure, like the purple grids here. Planting a flower in a variety of colors has a beautiful impact. Here masses of charming pink, yellow and white daylilies. Choose furniture in colors that blend seamlessly with the landscape, like this pretty green furniture, blue fabric and peach patio umbrella.
The flowers define the boundary for a walkway
A garden bench under a wooden pergola offers a scenic resting place. Plant a dramatic tree to add height to a bed filled with mostly flowers. A Japanese maple, for example, offers both color and seasonal foliage. Summer flowers, like lavender and fuchsia petunias, fill the bare spots in a perennial garden.
A pretty piece of perennials takes center stage in this flower bed. Gravel fills the space between the irregular stone slabs and provides a soft edge to the lush flower bed. A border of box hedges separates the flower bed from a wire pergola.Delicate pansiesfill the empty spaces until perennials come into full bloom in summer.
Beautiful blooms fill a narrow stretch of the yard. A paved path offers a geometric contrast to the more casual planted flower bed. OneClimbing roseBeautifies a wall and adds height and color. Ivy climbs over the doors and awnings.
Magnificent structures
Evergreen plants provide an interesting focal point in a beautiful flower bed. Summer flowers, perennials and boxwoods fill the garden with dramatic colors and interesting shapes. Here the gladioli stand neatly in contrast to the foliage and flowers around them. If you like minimalism, large groupings of similar types of flowers provide an uncomplicated, eye-catching landscape.
Inviting flowers in the front yard
A dramatic front yard provides a constant pop of color. A low boxwood hedge defines a subtle border between the lawn and the flower bed. Elements like a white picket fence can add visual relief. Climbing plants wrap around the trellis next to the front door. Repeat plants and colors, such as hydrangeas, daylilies and astilbes, that maintain consistency in the large front yard.
