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.
