Summer Garden Designs

Gardening during the summer is a fun, exciting and a great way to spend time

outdoors. Your garden can be a great venue for entertaining, working, having fun

or simply relaxing with a good book. There are a lot of ideas that you can integrate

into your garden but you have to choose the right plants, flowers, shrubs, the right

locations and the right materials for your garden. When thinking of a design these

are just some of the factors that you need to consider.

The first thing that you must consider is the location and the amount of space you

have for your garden design. Find out whether this space receives sunlight

throughout the day; is it usually dry or moist in this area? Knowing this will help

you determine the appropriate plants you can use, and remember there is a plant for

every space and growing condition. There are obviously plants that grow better in

the summer’s warm weather, for instance, geraniums, marigold, and begonias but

don’t be afraid to seek out some more unusual or exotic plants perfect for the hot

season.

There are also other elements and structures that you can incorporate into your

garden design. Pay attention to lighting options that you could integrate into the

landscape so as to highlight certain areas and features or even to flood particular

locations completely. If you are resourceful enough, you can choose to install solar

lights. This way you maximize the suns energy, help the environment and save

electricity, not to mention you can cut down on any wiring!

Because you will be devoting time and effort in order to beautify and take care of

your summer garden, don’t be afraid to show it off and use it for other purposes

such as dining or entertaining your family and friends. Choose fixtures such as

gazebos, wall cushions, tables and chairs that blend well with your home and

garden character. Doing this will give people visiting the area a sense of being

close to nature right in the comfort of your home.

There are a wide range of color schemes that you can use for your summer garden.

Choose plants or flowers that complement your house or the furnishings that you

want to put in your garden. If you plan the design carefully, take time in

preparation and seek professional advice, you can have a garden that you can enjoy

even after the summer heat has gone.
