Planning Your Planting
A good design should start with structural plants that are infilled with beautiful, flowering plants. Evergreen shrubs should be used at the end of every border and along the way. Also, remember to include the small shrubs like box ball. Large evergreens such as mahonia should be used for the big areas. After making the frame, all the gaps should be filled with beautiful and pretty flowering plants. You can choose about five types of flowers and then arrange them in patterns to produce a harmonious and a coordinated effect.

Silver and black paving are ideal for strong colours like yellow, red and orange. White or grey stone is perfect for white and purple blooms. Buff or golden is perfect for flowers having soft tones such as chalky yellow and lavender.

For instance, white and grey stones can be laid randomly to give your garden a French country feel or look. A modern and sleek scheme is produced by regularly organizing the paving. On the other hand, a golden or buff stone can be arranged randomly to create an English country look or feel.
Avoid Skimping on the Flowerbeds
A perfect border should have a depth of one meter or more. This will give you enough space for putting the tall plants behind the small ones. Climbers can be placed at the boarder’s back for those people who don’t have deep flower beds.
