The Garden Of Your Choice

Anyone can plant a few flowers, but it takes a special sort of mind to grasp garden design. Many of the best gardeners come from an engineering background, with the ability to draw up diagrams, create timetables for planting and measure the perfect plot for the construction of raised beds. However, there are also many avid gardeners from the art/aesthetic side of things. They understand color very well and have no trouble researching garden advice on what plants look best next to one another. Perhaps this is why many American couples with very different skills come together to assemble the perfect garden, using a little bit of right brain and a little bit of left brain thinking.

A great strategy for garden design is to choose a theme for your garden. At Garden Guides, you can choose between “dry gardens,” with cactus, drought-resistant plants, herbs, rocks and heat-loving plants; “edible gardens” for fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and plants; “flower gardens” for annuals, perennials, biennials, roses, orchids and wildflowers; “wildlife gardens” to attract birds, butterflies, dragonflies and bees; or “water gardens” like ponds, bogs, water features and tropical gardens. There are also distinctive styles to consider, such as alpine, cottage, English, family, forest, fragrant, Japanese and Zen gardens. For more information, visit www.gardenguides.com.

Better Homes and Gardens magazine online is a fun resource for garden design. On the site, you can register to use a computer program that lets you “plan-a-garden.” You can do virtual container gardening or drag-and-drop over 150 trees, shrubs and flowers to map out your whole yard’s garden plan. You can add structures like sheds, fences, decks, buildings and ponds to visualize how things will look before you actually do it. Here you can also leaf through their free garden planting guide. You’ll receive an illustration, a detailed layout diagram, a list of plants for your garden and complete instructions for installation. As you can see, there are many gardening “tools” to help you envision the best possible setting.
