Planting styles and ideas
By Dawn Kubicek on 24th August, 2010
If you know your garden is in need of a re design, but you are not sure what the next step is here are some inspirational tips to help you along the way.
Vertical gardening
An alternative design which will attract a lot of attention. The benefits include reducing pollution and rainwater run-off, insulating buildings and providing a habitat for wildlife. Vertical gardening can offset the impact of paving over front gardens, increasing vegetation in otherwise concrete-filled spaces and reducing the risk of flooding.
Woodland planting
Natural woodland planting is defined by a flush of early spring bulbs and perennials before the trees start into leaf and deprive the area of light. The look then becomes a bit wild, unruly even with one plant drifting into the next and everything just getting on with it. By midsummer there's little interest, structure or pattern. A good style if you have plenty of space otherwise it could take over everything!
Cottage garden planting
Features such as an informal gravel path edged with lavender or a willow arch will be a good start to your cottage garden. Use of a colourful mixture of bulbs, perennials and flowering shrubs will ensure a long display of colour. The profusion of flowers will attract bees, butterflies and moths to your garden.
Jungle garden
Naturally you need plants that are sun-lovers, or they won't stand the extreme conditions. Be bold, plant densely and create contrasts using striking foliage and architectural plants.
So if you are thinking about a Decorated Shed garden studio, why not start thinking about the rest of your garden to. We can help you create the perfect garden depending on your specific needs, making the most of your space. We have options such as decking to form around your garden studio but if this is not suited a more natural surrounding can be designed. Our garden studios are built to modern housing standards ensuring you get the lifelong use required.
