Planning the planting scheme
To create a good planting scheme, you have to consider not only the 3D effects, but also scale, color, and changes over time. Orchestrating these different elements takes careful planning, but a border need not necessarily he elaborate or particularly time-consuming in order to be effective.
Any planting scheme needs a. variety of material in order to look good. Ideally, you should grow plants with a range of heights, forms, and foliage types. Trees, with their single stems and canopies of foliage above, will help to create areas of shade and add privacy; they also provide a much-needed habitat for wild lile, but remember that the roots run to the extent of the canopy and large trees should never be planted close to house walls. Some shrubs grow as high as 20 ft., while low-growing, spreading varieties act like ground cover. Choosing a mixture of evergreen and deciduous shrubs will help to ensure that the garden has all-season appeal, and it is always worth checking any preferred plants to see if they look good out of season for example, do they have attractively colored bark, fall foliage, or perhaps scented winter flowers? |
