Home / Flower Gardening / Pro Tips on How to Make the Best Flower Garden

Making a flower garden is a personal process. Once you learn how to tailor your garden properly, it can be an immensely rewarding experience learning how to grow flowers. This article provides you with some of the best tips and tricks on making the best flower garden.

How to Make the Best Flower Garden

We’ve organized these tips into a number of sections to help ensure you can make the best possible garden.

Choosing a Good Site

The first thing you’re going to want to do is to make sure that you’re planting your garden in a good spot. Or, to look at it another way, you can learn everything there is to learn about your current space and figure out which flowers will grow best.

  • Take time to get to know the soil. This can easily be done by taking a small soil sample and sending it to a nearby lab. They’ll tell you what sort of nutrients are available and which ones are lacking.
  • Consider the climate. You’ll want to take a few things into account such as the frost cycle, the spring cycle, and yearly temperature averages.
  • Choose flowers that grow well. You’ll need to know a bit about your soil type and climate before you choose which flowers can grow well.

There are lots of things that can help you design a better garden. These are a few tips.

  • Work with your landscape. Choose flowers with colors that accentuate your current plants and landscape
  • Use colors to spark emotion. Different color schemes and contrasts can create a powerful or emotional effect. Using opposite colors can help create an interesting gardenscape.
  • Don’t go overboard. When planting flowers it can be easy to go overboard. If you think that every flower looks nice, your first instinct might be – well, why not plant all of them? This can overload your garden and make it difficult to plan an aesthetic.
  • Use different shapes. You can shape your entire garden, or you can plant certain colors of flowers in different shapes. Shapes are essential for creating art.
  • Use repeating colors. This can create a neat visual aesthetic that allows your garden to stand out from the rest.
  • Plant flowers close together. This helps to prevent weeds from sprouting and will lead to you producing a higher number of plants.
  • Use flagstone. If your garden is close to your lawn, using flagstone can prevent your flowers from growing out of the garden and getting caught in a lawnmower.
