Two Simple Things You Can Do to Make Your Garden Look Great

<p>When I discovered that I love gardening, I have to say... it really took me by surprise. I am a bookish person by nature and would almost always rather read a novel than do anything outside, but gardening somehow is different. It is relaxing and interesting all at the same time.</p><p>As you can imagine, I've learned quite a bit about gardening over the years, and I've discovered a couple of techniques that really make your garden stand out.</p><p><strong>#1. Plant your perennial flowers in groups.</strong></p><p>I know this may seem obvious, but it is often overlooked. When you plant your flowers in large groupings. Say 3 to 5 of the same plant you create a stunning visual effect. Your plants will just look better because they are so eye catching.</p><p>When using this technique be sure to stagger your bloom times and put the larger plants toward the back of your bed so that your garden always looks nice.</p><p><strong>#2. Use hardscaping.</strong></p><p>Hardscaping is simply everything in your garden that is not a plant. Using decorative pots, statues, fountains, and fencing can be a very effective way to make your garden stand out.</p><p>A single (or double) panel of 4 foot fencing can be a very effective backdrop to colorful flowers or lush greenery. It can give your garden structure and interest, even in the winter time.</p><p>When you are using hardscaping in your garden be careful to use restraint. While it can make a huge impact, too much can be too much.</p><p>Click here for FREE information on using <a target="_new" href="http://gardenfencingsite.com/decorative-garden-fencing-will-make-your-garden-stand-out" rel="nofollow">Decorative Garden Fencing</a> to make your garden stand out.</p><p>Click here to go to the <a target="_new" href="http://gardenfencingsite.com/" rel="nofollow">Garden Fencing Site</a></p><p>Happy Gardening!</p>
