The color corner
via: Lovahomy
Fill in a corner in your garden with perennials and create the perfect color spot. It is best to plant flowers that grow in height near the fence. Let them then grade into medium and small ones – the closer they come to the middle of the garden, the smaller.
Colors don’t really matter – the more, the merrier. Mixing the type of the flowers depends only on the type of soil they need and most of them need one and the same, so – no worries there either.
You need not have green thumb superpower – love, some sweat and just a little reading on-line will do the trick.
Follow the lines

Make a garden that runs along the perimeter of your home.
Any type of flower bed will do. Here we offer you a mix of still life and, well – life. Pebbles look stylish and tidy, and neat.
When you add flower pots to the pebbles, you create a contrast that is pleasant to the eye and calming to the mind. Flower pots can be aligned in a straight line or in a zigzag – it is up to you. Surrounding your house with flowers will make it stand out.
So, do your magic and change the looks of your house, of your garden and your life!

You can enjoy the hot sunny days even more by creating a live green roof above your head. And if you use a vine, you can a 3-in-1 benefit – green, shade and fruit!
Dive in the archway and see what is on the other side – surely something good is awaiting you!

This type of garden may require reading a bit – what grows best in your area, how much water the plants need, etc. At some point you’ll start gardening intuitively.
