Here we will give you great ideas, no matter the size of your garden, your budget or the amount of free time.
So take note!
1. Take advantage of the Sun
The first thing you have to see when it comes to a good Garden design, is how the sunlight will affect. Which areas will be the most illuminated, and at what time of day they will be most exposed. Based on this, define the place where you will put the plants.
Flowering species tend to get along very well with the sun. And if you have to put them all together to receive their rays, don’t worry, they will be beautiful with a good design.
2. Intimate and Cozy Garden
If you have a small space, take advantage of all the edges to fill them with plants. That wall that once looked like a prison wall can now be a great vegetal curtain that makes you feel embraced by nature. Most vines grow very fast and keep well.
3. The Advantage of Pots
Maybe you live in a rented place or you are one of those who enjoys permanently renovating the decoration. So design your garden with plants of various shapes and sizes in cute pots.
If you move, you can take them with you and if not, you can redistribute them and have a new garden each season.
4. Summer Flowers
Summer brings us warmth and color. Take advantage of it by buying small flower plants. They are inexpensive, so when the summer passes, you can easily replace them with other stronger species.
5. Plants that Change Color
If you want a garden that is renewed every season and without lifting a finger, then plant these conifers that change from green and blue to orange and red depending on whether it is summer or winter. Beautiful!
6. Beautiful roads
The paths serve to delimit spaces and allow you to walk through the garden comfortably. You can make them with gravel, stone, clay tile, grass, or wood.
To enhance the beauty of this path, you can place tall plants on each side of the path, like the photograph that you can see below with the lavender in bloom. Notice that it enhances the beauty of the stones, which seems like a fairytale space.
In this other photograph you will be able to see a path made with wooden circles of different sizes, where you can also see the grain of the wood and that it looks great with the green color of the plants. With this option you can get a very rural road.
7. Gardens in Little Space
You don’t have to have a large garden to put dedication and effort to its design. On the contrary, if you have a small space, study all the possibilities to get the most out of it and enjoy it to the fullest.
8. Time Saving Plants
The cactus and succulents they are the most faithful, adaptable and durable plants. They can survive with very little water and adapt to any climate.
In addition, now there are many varieties that you can play with to have a mini garden that does not give you any work and makes you happy all year round.
The best thing about these types of plants is that you can use them both in soil and in pots, the quality of the soil does not matter because they are very resistant and immediately hook with the earth. At the same time, they look great combining cacti and succulents because of their two heights, which implies that they visually generate a beautiful image, as you can see in these photos.
9. Cactus and Stones: Proof of Everything
This option is ideal for very severe climates, such as inclement summers or extreme winters. Also if your garden lacks shade or if you have a small budget.
10.- Main Trees
Do you have large trees already planted that prevent you from a good garden design? Well I must tell you that everything is a matter of creativity. Take advantage of the shade that they offer you, give prominence to the elderly in the garden and that they are not an impediment to do what you want.
11. Vertical Gardens
These novel systems have their advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they allow the walls to be filled with green with something more than ivy, but on the other they can generate humidity “on the other side of the wall”. One solution is to build vertical pots.
In this case, put the plants that require more water on top; the rest will be watered by the decantation of the first ones.
If you don’t have a lot of space to make a vertical garden or you want to go for a cheaper vertical garden, you can create your own vertical garden with pallets. In this type of garden you can include aromatic plants, succulents, cacti or all the ones you like the most.
12. Clean and minimalist
It is the trend now. The ornate gardens are history. Now a large lawn rug and your favorite plant are enough for a clean and relaxing environment.
13. A Board of Gravel and Grass
A good garden design does not require a huge investment, but originality. This gravel and grass checkerboard lowers costs and maintenance. Combine the colors of the pot to achieve the effect of a large checkerboard.
14. Integrated Pool
If you have a pool, take it into account and integrate it into the garden design.
15. Super Modern Garden
This round platform made of concrete and placed on a small pond, is amazing. And not to mention the water mirror on the wall and the benches so you can sit and contemplate such an ingenious creation.
16. For what and for whom
The first thing you must define is the use that you will give to your garden and who will enjoy it. If you have young children, let the grass predominate to protect them. If you have animals, the stones, so they don’t destroy the grass. Always prioritize the functionality of your space.
17. A Garden For Social Events
If your priority is to receive guests and spend as much time outside as possible, then let the plants accompany you without invading and that they do not consume care time so you can take advantage of it with your friends. Few well-chosen and strategically placed plants will do the job.
18. For the Boys
That having unruly children does not stop your intention to have a dream garden. Design a special area for them and everyone can have a great time.
19. Simple and Creative Ideas
With little money and a few pieces you can create beautiful decorations to personalize your garden and make it the envy of the neighborhood. Like this metallic watering can, which instead of water, irrigates lights!
Gardening can be a super fun, enjoyable, and stress-free activity. Allow yourself to play and invent, and you will see that everything around you will literally green.
