As a rule, gardeners make the same mistakes in design. In the article we will tell you what to avoid in creating a garden design in the first place.

Even number of colors

Symmetry looks rather unnatural and banal.

Avoid straight lines and don't use an even number of plants.

Too much flowers in one place

Everyone wants the garden to be bright and colorful. However, flowers may not be combined with each other and the facade of the house.

For example, if there are a lot of bright flowers in the garden, and the facade of your house is also multi-colored.

Choose both neutral and bright colors. Check the compatibility of shades of flowering plants with the facade of the house.

Style Mismatch

For example, a Victorian house will not fit in with an Art Nouveau landscaping.

Also, houses with complex architecture will not be noticeable against the backdrop of bright, large plants.

Lack of planning

Thoroughly think over the design of the garden before you start work.

Changing something later will be more difficult than foreseeing mistakes in advance.

A beautiful garden is a great way to enjoy nature, have a good time with friends and show your creative side. However, you should be responsible for planning the landscape and choosing plants.
