How to Make a Beautiful Garden Developing a small, but lovely, garden is not always a small task. Whether you want to plant primarily in containers or directly in the garden soil, be prepared to put forth some of your time, effort and money. If your finances are rather limited, then your tiny oasis of tranquility may well be the ideal size for you. To help you create a beautiful garden and transform the limited space that you have to work with, follow these tips for expanding your horizons. Select a location with good drainage and sufficient sun. Soil which already has plenty of organic matter, ample nutrients, and a consistency which allows good air and moisture circulation, as well as good drainage, is a strong foundation for roots and requires little pre-planting attention. Decide which approach you want to take in designing your garden. For the purposes of this tutorial, you’ll discuss creating a flower garden based on color design. The garden will be more formal; you’ll create an overall square shape that will include a small tree and bench. Be sure to select an area that receives at least six hours of sunlight a day. Prepare the area before any planting can take place. Use an herbicide to kill the grass, then cover the area with black plastic sheeting for at least two to six weeks to ensure the roots are killed off. You can do this in late winter or early spring, when it’s unlikely there’ll be any more frosts. Draw up a basic plan. For this tutorial, the plan will be three beds to the east, three to the north and three to the west. A small shade tree and bench will close the square at the south end of the garden. Keep the inner rows all one color, the middle rows another color, and the third or outer rows one color. Include two small bushes on the plan that will flank the beds to the north.
