Denveris filled with luscious, florid gardens. Colorado's relatively long warm season and wealth of sunshine make it the perfect place for stunning landscaping. So, stop and smell the flowers and learn how to make your garden beautiful.
Fall into the Pinterest rabbit hole
Spend some time pinning away to build inspiration for your gardening aspirations. Pinterest offers endless garden photos and a convenient way to categorize your favorites. If you prefer the feel of paper in your hands, browse Home and Gardens and other garden-focused magazines. Save the images that speak to you.
Once you've selected some great photos, look back through them. What are some recurring themes? What colors do you notice in multiple photos? Are the gardens more manicured or a bit unruly? Are there one or more plants that continue to pop up in your favs?
Jot down the overarching themes from your inspiration photos and let that guide your garden design. Of course, keep the Colorado climate and seasonality in mind, when selecting your plants.
Select a piece de rÃsistance
Create interest with a beautiful focal point in your garden. Consider an arbor, some garden furniture, or a fountain. This will draw the eye to one spot (a basic feature of well-executed art) and add coziness and dimension to your outdoor space.
Think Color Blocking
Once you've identified some colors you love, select several flowers to group together. This will add striking impact with rich textures. Imagine your garden as a living tapestry!
Enhance your Blooms with Art
Consider sprinkling some garden art pieces throughout your yard. Many shops throughout the Denver area offer handcrafted windmills, statues, and decorative stakes. These little beauties can highlight your personality and add unique charm.
Keep Your Garden Blooming
Plant repeatedly blooming flora for a gorgeousness that you can enjoy again and again. Perennials like columbines and climbing roses bloomseveral times over the summer season while lavender and butterfly bush are long-blooming.
