Planning a Creative Garden – Tips & Techniques

When you plant your own garden, you might as well make it as interesting and creative as possible. From vegetable gardens to gardens that have herbs or flowers, creative gardening can definitely occur when you put your mind to it. To help you make a creative garden, this article was written to provide tips and strategies to help you accomplish this goal.
Some people want a garden, but can’t find a big enough area. A glass container or terrarium is a way to overcome lack of space, because it can hold your plants. You can make an attractive garden for indoors by using a terrarium for growing herbs. One advantage to this type of garden is that you won’t have to water the herbs very often, because such an enclosed environment will retain moisture. You could use a large terrarium, such as an aquarium normally used for fish, or perhaps several smaller glass containers. Using small herbs, for this type of garden, will probably work best, because they can be managed easier.
Creativity can definitely be utilized when growing an herb garden. One way that you can grow an herbal garden is to cut the plants into a topiary design (the plants actually look like animals). Growing and carving your choosing topiary design is something you will become an expert at as you get more practice.
It is not necessary to strive for perfection when doing this type of gardening artwork. Simply develop your own style as you continue to practice and give them an interesting shape – that’s all it takes. Geometric patterns, knots, and other designs can also be done if you practice what is called “knot herb” gardening. Herbs such as lavender, chamomile and thyme are good choices for this type of garden. The art of creating designs with this type of gardening is something you will learn as you go along – just keep trying!
One area where you can be creative with your garden is with your use of fencing and other boundaries. The type of fence that you choose can be of a wide variety of materials and styles. The fencing you use need not be anything other than rocks or old sticks that you have lying around. You could also grow a nice hedge to surround your garden. Regardless of the type of garden you are growing, you should use a fence of some sort. Fencing can make a big difference to the overall look of your garden, so it’s a good opportunity for you to be creative. Always make sure that if you are going to spend money on a fence that it is in your budget to do so. And remember, be creative!
It is important to stay creative as you create the blueprint for your garden that you are going to plant this year. You need to make your garden as unique or traditional as you see fit. It is our hope that the ideas presented in this article will help you create a garden that is exciting and an expression of your creativity.
