Here are the tips to transform your garden look!
1. Utilizing Bare Walls
If you have any walls adjacent to your garden, then that is a great space for climbing vines to flourish and add abundantly to your green décor. Vines like – Sweet pea, star jasmine, Rangoon creeper, Morning Glory, Mandevilla, Honeysuckle, Bougainvillea, and Fire Cracker Vine can greatly transform your garden. Roping mechanisms and trellis arrangements across the length of the wall are needed for such plants. An important thing to keep in mind is that vines only start flowering once they have spread wildly and invasively wherever nature took them. So, take extra steps in making them take up the desired route. Smaller space and intensive trellis would give out lush vibes.
2. Incorporating Hanging Plants
From the wall, you can hang a huge variety of plants that will appear pretty and dangle once in a while when it is windy. Flowering ones, especially, twinkle like the wind chimes! Plants like Arrowhead plant, English Ivy, String of Pearls, Mistletoe Cactus, Soleirolia, and Creeping Fig will become a great addition f more texture and color. Hence you will be able to transform your garden. Choose pretty baskets, try contrasting your greenery with white, or camouflage with ochre or brown pots. If your garden lacks vibrancy, choose eccentrically colored pots for an instant pop!
3. Layering
To make your garden look more dense and green, this technique works wonderfully. First, you’ll need to classify your small, medium, medium-large, large, and very large plants. Push the largest ones at the back and keep the shortest bushes and small shrubs/cacti at the front (descending order). Once your garden plants are layered according to their height and volume, they look more tangled into each other and put forth a dense look, creating fascinating wilderness. This way, you will create different layers in your garden and focus on the upkeep of certain green friends and approachability. Layering will sort out your garden better and inspire you to shuffle and achieve a color scheme through plants.
4. Initiating Contrast
All plants don’t have the same color. Their colors vary and there seems to have no limit to their variedness. To create the perfect balance in your garden, it is always suggested to take cues from nature. Incorporating more distinct shades of green foliage in your garden, as the same green color looks strangely monotonous, and let’s be real, nature doesn’t create space with just one color ever. Nothing is that perfect in the wild. So, for it to look more natural, one needs to create a diverse space with different plant varieties, plants of different heights, and colorful flowers. Donning more contrast will transform your garden for sure!
Bottom Line
Throw in some earthy materials as well like rocks, wood, and clay pots, for added permanency and profundity. Increase luster through big-leaved plants. A small water body or an active fountain/waterfall setup works best for enhancing the viability and invites birds too. If all this inspires you enough, you will surely achieve a happy garden through the aforementioned tips because serene greens mean a happy green mom and dad!
