By adding flowers, you can get separate splashes of color. Blooms can take away the staleness of having a purely green garden. You’ll get focal points and contrast where it matters. Achieve this by planting annuals and perennials in your backyard. Cosmos, sunflowers, hydrangeas, and marigolds are great examples of blossoms that’ll do the job.

If flowers aren’t your thing, you can go for vegetables or herbs. These also bloom flowers, often before producing fruit. Spring onions, chives, dill, purple or white basil, thyme, rosemary, pineapple sage, and rocket are some herbs that look like you’ve got flowers all around. Their color variety is quite exciting, not to mention that you’ve got an endless supply of essential herbs right in your backyard!

A favorite is the flowers from chives, which give a nice purple color. Plus: they are edible! Have them in your garden bed, or on its own in a pot.

 

 

Create Themes and Sections by Color

By grouping plants by theme, you can create a bigger visual impact. Make “collections” of plants using the same foliage or color of blooms. Create themes for areas or “sections” in your garden. This trick is actually a pretty easy one to do.

Once you’ve planned out the color theme of each section, all you have to do is stand back, wait, and revel in the beauty when they have bloomed. Doing so will also give you the chance to analyze how to improve them next blooming season. Maybe shifting around some colors into other sections can make a better view?

You can use an old bathtub to plant some flowers. Repurpose an old one by painting the tub blue – or whichever color you like – and place repeating blooms in it. Place it next to a tree or tall shrub to create a truly unique display. You can add in other elements with contrasting colors – chairs, bicycles, benches, old watering cans – to create a fully framed picture.

Another way to achieve this effect is by simply planting along the edge of your garden bed using a “border plant”. You can also highlight the color and shape of your container with repeated plants or flowers. We’ve found that using white, grey, silver, and blue are a great thematic cluster, and they work great with other colors, too.

 

 

Add Art Pieces to Your Property

 

 

Don’t go crazy here. We’re not suggesting you take out an original Picasso out in the backyard (unless you want to!) — but we’re talking about any piece that can add to the overall aesthetic of the place. It can stand on its own to create visual impact, or blend in with the general portrait of the property.

Garden art can be anything that you made or found in an auction. Decorative items can be ornaments or vintage pieces (think: old watering cans, old posters, vintage chairs). These definitely spruce the place up and add character to the area. Tiny ornaments can make the biggest impact. Try placing some on your patio or porch.

Even your choice of furniture can serve as garden art! By picking out the right look for your outdoor set – patio tables and lawn chairs – you can add to the impact of your space.

 

 

Maximize Planters and Pots

Functional art can come from all places. Since we’re talking about gardens, look around and see what there’s a lot of — now ask yourself how you can utilize them to create a visual masterpiece. Aside from plants, your answer will likely be pots and planters. By featuring them, you can create attention-grabbing focal points. Simply add color with paint to your pots and planters.

It’s smart to use contrasting colors. For instance, don’t use the same shade of paint as the color of the flower or herb that the pot or container has.

Aside from painting, you can use special pots that create their own statement. These can be old water cans, repurposed bathtubs, vintage cans, and more. Literally anything can serve as a planter if you put the right creativity and imagination in place.

 

 

Line Your Walkways with Garden Mulch

Finally, let’s talk about the walkways and pavements in your yard. Now that you’ve upgraded the look of your garden, added color clusters, used layering with various planters, and incorporated unique art, it’s time to look down and ask: are my feet happy when I’m walking down this path?

By using a small wood chipper, you can take what would otherwise be waste in the trash can into useful, sustainable art. Throw in leaves, stems, branches, wood chunks into the chipper and get fresh mulch that you can lay down on your garden pathways. The effect will be stunning at no extra cost! You’ll feel much in contact with nature at the same time. Your guests will be impressed.
