Creating your first flower bed is hard work. It can be a daunting task as you want your garden to look exactly like how you envisioned it to be. In this video, you'll learn about the top 3 tips gardeners use to create their own flower beds.
1. Layering- Layering will take your eye from the lower part of the border to the mid section and then to the higher parts. This method slows down your focus and lets you appreciate the visual of your flower bed. This works on both formal and informal planting design.
2. Color- Pick and mix planting can be underwhelming or confusing, so try and plan out a color scheme first before choosing your plants. Use a color wheel to help you choose which color combinations look best. You can choose to group plants with similar colors together or go with contrasting ones.
3. Repetition- Repetition brings intention to flower beds. Repeat similar plants or colors throughout your flower bed. Repetition brings cohesion to your garden and makes every plant look purposeful. It is all about taking the plants you chose and repeating them throughout your flower bed.
