I need ideas for garden designs?

First thing you have to do is ask yourself is: "what do you want from your the garden?"





Some things you can do are:


Grow your own herbs, fruit and vegetables?


Collect plants like roses, fuschias, cactuses or orchids?


play area for children?


Space for dogs and cats?


Attract wildlife (birds %26amp; butterflies) bird baths, feeding plants?


Outdoor entertainment area barbcue and bar?


High or low maintenance?


Swimming Pool?


Keep fish - do you need a fish pond?


Grow flowers for the house - cutting bed?


Meditation area?


Just plants you can look at?


Make your own compost?


Washing line?


If you are in an area of high rainfall do you need a well drained path that you can walk on for exercise?


Privacy and security. Should you edge your garden with thick thorny hedges?


Screen any unnattrictive views from the garden like pylons and buildings?


Highlight any good view like mountains or lakes?


Do you need to screen off unattractive areas of the garden with trellises or hedges?


Do you need to plan for droughts and water restrictions?








Once you have the idea of what you want to do in the garden allocate space for the activities and then plan each section of the garden accordingly.





Your garden design should flow from your requirements. Try and keep to endemic plants, because plants native to your area will require less maintenance than exotics.

Reply:Hey, df382's answer is really thoughtful. One little thought I might add to this is that over the months and years, you and your garden can grow and change together. Trees will grow taller, shade areas will change, certain plans may outgrow their initial location, you may wish to relocate or add seating, and so on. Good luck with your garden and enjoy!
Reply:Consider what kind of garden you like. Personally, I like English style gardens, but you may like something more formal. Look through some garden design magazines and decide what kind suits your taste best. Then, decide how much maintenance you're willing to do with your garden. If you don't want to do a lot of work, a wildflower theme may be best for you. If you're really into spending time working in the garden, then you may want things that need to be deadheaded, weeded and pruned regularly. Be sure to buy plants that are recommended for your growing region, or you won't have much luck. Plant things that bloom at different times of the year, so that there will always be something going on in your yard. Good luck and enjoy whatever you plant!
