Plant Gardens 101

You can use the rectilinear system to create a really charming garden if you pay attention to three main factors in a garden, one of which is the beds and borders. In the evolution of a garden design, the beds should receive first consideration.

They may as well occupy more space than usual. The narrow strips of border that often avoid the fences of gardens are, for the most part, useless for a flower society. A width of six feet is not too much for a principal border and it should be in full sun.

If the main path defines its boundary, another border parallel to it may be made on the other side of the path but somewhere around four feet wide. This difference in width is designed to secure variety and to eliminate inequality.

Two such borders, the wide one planted with shrubs and herbaceous plants, the narrow one with surface growing flowers, become complementary, and offer opportunity for many charming effects such as the creation of a fine view. There are ways in which you make the view even more spectacular by adding something such as a garden statue, wall water fountain, or even a resin wall fountain.    (more…)
