Flower Garden Designs And Rock Garden Designs

By Darren Hartley


The foundations to any great landscape are flower garden designs that include stunning color, foliage and plant combinations. Some of the stunning colors included in these designs are plants in blue, lavender, orange, pink and purple blooms. Plant combinations, on the other hand, may include the pairing together of the best red and yellow flowers.

Included in flower garden designs are ways of attracting wildlife to the landscape. This attraction is achievable through the building of birdhouses and the creation of birdbaths. Among the wildlife that are sure to be attracted by these garden structures are birds and even butterflies.

Conquering difficult conditions such as shade are also included in flower garden designs as well as increasing the privacy of the yard. Cottage, country and Japanese garden types are among the more popular garden styles to choose from. Flower garden designs also boost interest in a garden not only during the summer and spring months but also during the autumn and winter seasons as well.

Rock garden designs, on the other hand, can bring a natural, rugged beauty to any yard. These designs include steep hillsides and other difficult growing conditions. Common rock garden plants grow naturally on high mountains, where they stand up to the harsh conditions of intense heat, strong winds and drought.

For the creation of a picture perfect scene, rock garden designs encourage the experimentation with wildflowers in an array of complementary hues. For a layered look, all over color and vertical interest, they suggest the combination of mounded plants and groundcovers with various sized shrubs.

Regardless of its natural absence, a rocky site can be easily created with the right rock garden designs. For a variety of low growing alpine classics, a stone wall can be used as an ideal foundation and border. Tiny rubies that fill the crevices between the stones can integrate the stone wall with the rest of the garden.
