Flowers in your country garden landscape can be designed and combined in a wide variety of different ways, some of which are much more interesting than others. Flowers can be arranged in layers, or they can be arranged by color. They can be arranged in natural groupings, or you may even arrange them based on the time that they are expected to bloom. Plants that do not flower and vegetables can also be added to your country garden landscape in order to add structure and foliage to the overall appearance of your garden. Some gardens are also created specifically with how they smell in mind, containing flowers that specifically give off fragrance and perform throughout the length of the growing season.

Layers and Color

In order to arrange a country garden landscape based on layers, you should begin in the back. More often than not, three tiers are sufficient for this purpose. The third tier is the tallest tier, or the tallest layer of plants. This tier should be located either neat the back of the other flowers, or on the sides furthest from the eye of the viewer. When attempting to accomplish this with larger gardens, the tier can be an entire tree line. When smaller gardens are being designed, shrubs or taller plants can be used for this purpose.

Second tier and first tier plants can be merged in with the third tier in order to give the garden multiple different levels of dimensions depending on from what angle you are looking at it. This will also help to avoid creating a highly formal or overly structured country garden landscape. Low lying forms of ground cover can usually make up the first tier, and then you can use a variety of different heights of intermediate level flowers in order to create an easy transition from the lowest layers of the flowers to the tallest. The key thing that you need to remember when you are arranging a garden this way, or by color, is that sometimes plants look different when they are placed next to certain other plants. When color is the issue, sometimes the color of a flower can appear differently when placed next to certain other colored flowers.

Natural Groupings and Seasonal Blooms

Arranging gardens by the natural groupings of plants is a way to make your garden mimic the same patterns that are found in nature. This is something that can be accomplished by placing plants adjacent to one another that would normally bloom at the same time or that would naturally grow together. When plants are grouped in these ways, the focus of the garden can shift naturally as seasons progress. Each area of the garden will have a time where the focus is put specifically on it.

There are a wide variety of possibilities for planting flowers in your country garden landscape. Don’t be afraid to experiment, testing out different options until you find one that you are satisfied with.

When you’re planning your country garden landscaping, of course you’ll want to think about your favorite flowers and shrubs and how they’ll look together here, or combined over there. The big fun and joy in country garden landscaping is how creative you can be. You can choose one color theme or go wild with different hues around the garden. You can have dozens of different types of flowers or just few or one, in different shades, if you like. Tall flowers, short grasses and ground cover, hedgerows or a scattering of plants—your country garden is your canvas and you should let yourself create.

But first, consider some practical points when planning your garden landscaping. Painters have to work within the boundaries of their canvas, but that lets them focus and create. So you should have a framework in mind when landscaping your country garden, and then you can create within those boundaries and end up with a spectacular garden that you’ll enjoy for years.

You could hire a landscaping designer to plan your country garden, of course. You’ll spend a lot of money, but you’ll benefit from the expert advice and design experience of a professional. The best landscaping experts will listen to your wants and help you design the perfect space for what you’d like to achieve. But if you don’t want to go that route, you can plan your country garden landscaping yourself and get great results with a few helpful tips.

Consider where you plant flowers in your country garden, not just for their visual appeal but because of the things around them. Think of where they’ll draw the eye. Will a gorgeous flower bed in the corner just make people notice the fence that’s in need of painting, or will it add a touch of beauty to the bare side of a building? Instead of changing your country garden landscaping plan, paint the fence, and plan ivy to go up the building side or tall plants in the back to minimize the bare space and get the most impact—just be aware of these things before you start planting.

Also, look at the structures already in place with an eye toward incorporating them more fully into your country garden landscaping. The base of a mailbox or a tree is an excellent place to add some color and interest. Low-growing flowers can make a bare mailbox look dressed up, as long as the circle of foliage doesn’t extend out so far that getting the mail becomes difficult! And the base of a tree is an excellent place for a circle of flowers or some dramatic plants like hostas, which do well in partial shade.

To give your country garden landscaping the designer touch while still exercising your creativity, simply make every choice look deliberate. Use the same kind of border stones around various beds to link them together. Or have a certain color appear in each different spot, or use the same flowers in different areas to provide a connection.

Design is an element of planning your country garden just like it is an element of any art. You are going to want your country garden to look lovely both to you and to anyone else who visits. So are you wondering where you can come up with some great ideas to bring your country garden landscape to life?

Where should you begin your search for country garden design inspiration?

In order to get some excellent ideas for your garden, you should begin by looking at your home and other things that you are interested in. After all, you are the one who is going to be living in your garden, so you should aim to model it after the things that you love the most. Your interior decorating probably reflects your tastes and styles quite well, so consider modeling your country garden after the same style that you’ve created inside your home.

For example, if your home is decorated in a French country theme, then a French country garden landscaping style may be ideal. You can carry the same colors outdoors, using the same colors in your plants and garden furniture as you use in the fabrics in your home. Country French usually uses colors like green, blue or red and yellow. Consider creating a garden room that lets you use these colors in conjunction with the furniture and furnishings that match the design inside your home. You might also consider mixing in chicken themed décor, like pottery chickens and chicken platters to tie in with your French country theme.

If you have a nautical theme in your home instead, considering implementing the same blues and whites outdoors to invoke the same seashore style feeling in your country garden. You can even plant flowers that are white and blue, or even red. Add nautical items into your garden to add interest to the design and landscape of your garden. You can wrap rope around planers with blue and white flowers, adding seashells, or even planting small plants in larger sea shells to add to the nautical theme.

Maybe you have a love of teapots which is reflected in the design and decoration in your kitchen and elsewhere in your home. Old antique teacups and teapots make excellent planters for smaller plants like succulents. You may even want to grow tea plants in your little teacups and saucers. In other words, there is a lot that you can do to take your favorite design elements outdoors, implementing your favorite concepts into your country garden.

Design inspiration for your country garden definitely begins at home. Rather than taking cues from the most popular gardens, take cues from your favorite design elements indoors, bringing them outdoors to add flair to your country garden. Crafting a nautical country garden, or a teapot garden, or another unique style country garden is only limited by your own creativity.
