Flower Bed in the Side Yard for Small Spaces
Many homeowners overlook their side yards. Even if you only have a small amount of space in your yard, backyard, or garden, you can still make an attractive flower bed. With a limited, you need to be careful with both planting and landscaping.
Where to Plant the Flowers
• Backyard- To give your garden a natural look and create a functional walkaway path, start installing a stepping stone path. In the backyard, there will be little or no sunlight. You need to consider plants that do well in low light like dogwood, burn the heart of lady fern.
You should not let a lack of space prevent you from planting your best flowers—plant vines or other plants that can get trained to climb if you want to get creative.
Corner Flower Beds
Get a flower bed in corners for your front yards. A corner flower will make your home more stylish, and welcoming. There are different ways of landscaping a corner flower bed in your home.
Where to Plant the Flowers
• House corners- Make a beautiful flower bed out of your house’s ugly corners. Consider planting the flowers where there are no windows for the best results. The flowers should also be of different sizes to create layers.
• Front yards- Other than that, the house corners make a fence on your front yard. This fence will form a corner where you can plan your flowers. When painting the fence, consider a neutral color, for example, white, to have a perfect march for colorful flowers such as marigold or Freesias.
Wheelbarrow Planter or Clay Pot Flower Bed
Use an old wheelbarrow or clay pots in your flower beds to add a personal touch. When it comes to landscaping, adding clay pots makes things a lot easier. Besides, you can fill in the gaps between the pots with unique stones.
Where to Plant the Flowers
• Wheelbarrow-Plant flowers of various sizes in your garden or front yard, then place the old wheelbarrow in the middle of the flower bed. The background of your flower bed should have long flowers, while the front should have short flowers.
• Clay Pots- Plant your flowers in a half-buried flower bed. Bulbs are the best plants to plant on a clay pot.
