Flower Garden: Make a Small Greenhouse

It’s time to take up a flower garden project. Until recently your choices were only

restricted to, impatiens, geraniums, marigolds and red salvia. However today,

your small greenhouse can have rather captivating array of choices.

They are colorful, they are bright, they smell fresh, and yes they are light. The

flowers need no introduction. Standing tall as the drops of joy and freshness,

flowers amidst their color and hue, smell and shades can actually brighten your

day! Nature’s colorful gift, flowers can turn that empty driveway or even that small

barren patch at your backyard into a magic land, where nothing but dream rests,

birds hum and butterflies flap their wings. Yes, it’s possibly the best time to take

up a flower garden project!

So, where to start with? What to look for? Honestly, it’s so very much typical to

imagine the final result even before you start with your small greenhouse. Those

rose shrubs with colorful blossoms whispering the tales of love, those flowering

bushes murmuring the saga of the bygone era, the tall lilies waving their head

gracefully in the wind, the smell of the nameless yellow flowers – indeed

imagination knows no bound! Still, it’s good to keep a well-defined goal in mind

when it comes to the point of crafting your own small home greenhouse.

Remember, building a flower garden is no child’s play hence you need to be

careful about not to bite off more than you can actually chew. Start small. Yes,

that’s the keyword indeed.

Would you be interested in extending your gardening season throughout the year?

Try out the annual flowers this time. As a matter of fact, until recently your choices

were only restricted to, impatiens, geraniums, marigolds and red salvia. However

today, your small greenhouse can have rather captivating array of choices. To be

honest, doesn’t really matter if you are actually planting a window box, or may be

trying to spruce up your perennial garden, because now the detail, interesting and

colorful range of choices keep your needs covered.

Select the impatiens, heliotrope and tuberous begonias to render a whole riot of

color to your home greenhouse. Yes, you have heard that right; these are basically

the "half-hardy" perennials and can actually survive light frost. On the other hand

the pansies or the ornamental cabbage can withstand even extreme freezing

temperatures quite well.

Possibly you know one of the striking aspects of the perennial flowers is their

versatility. In fact using those in your flower gardens will render a creative blend

of texture, color, form and tones, which actually lasts long. Colors also range from

sheer midsummer favorites like the Mexican sunflowers and zinnias to the more

neutral shades such as pastel stocks and lavatera.

Get creative with your small greenhouse. You can plan and design your flower

garden based on other striking aspects as well. Sure there are perennials that are

tall and climbing, there are also the short and the bushy ones to limn your garden

well. Mix and match the delightful fragrance of the stock, mignonette or the sweet

smelling nicotiana, with the striking and captivating foliage of caladium, dusty

miller or coleus to make your garden the ultimate abode to relax and unwind!
