When it's time to get gardening in spring you can choose a style that fits the problems or challenges you might have in your yard. It may be a slope or a high fence, even a wall blocking sunlight. There might be open grass if your yard backs onto a ravine or field. These can be used to design a specific kind of garden. It could be used for a meadow style with native plants, bulbs, trees and shrubs. Choose spring bulbs planted in among the wildflowers for a open prairie meadow garden.
Cool shade from walls, large trees and fences provide a place for a retreat garden with bench seating or tables with chairs. Include a birdbath or water feature to attract wildlife. Birds and butterflies will visit if the spot is sheltered. Add a patio, deck or benches to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
Another theme could be a birth in the family. Plant trees or flowers as a memorial to remember a loved one who has passed away. Perhaps you are planning an outdoor wedding in your yard. You can design ahead to plant flowers in a specific color scheme. Craft lovers grow theme gardens filled with cut flowers and everlasting varieties to use fresh or dried. Nature lovers grow plants to attract bees, butterflies and birds.
