There are no limits to the imagination when it comes to planting in the garden. So that you don't create a wild mess, we have put together a few nice ideas for you on how and with what you can plant your garden.
A comfortable place to sit should not be missing in any garden
Make flower beds
When planning flower beds, there are several aspects to consider:
- the bed border
- the plant selection
- design elements
- mulch
The border of the bed
A bed border not only looks pretty, but also restricts the growth of the plants so that they do not overgrow the bed. Various natural materials can be used for the border of the bed:
- boulders
- cobblestones
- wood
- plant stones
The plant selection
Plants of different heights are often combined on wide beds for visual reasons. In the middle there are often taller perennials or shrubs, medium-sized perennials or bushes are arranged around them and small flowers or ground cover form the end. This structure is particularly interesting if you mix flowering and green plants, creating a colorful green sea of plants.
If you want to make your bed very special, you can opt for just two different colors such as white and blue or violet and thus create a noble, two-colored bed.
design elements
This point should not be underestimated. Design elements bring color and life into the bed or give it a very specific style. For example, you can create a country house atmosphere by equipping the bed with antique objects such as old wooden wagons, wheels, milk cans or the like.
Other design elements that are often used:
- metal figures
- wooden figures
- wind turbines
- large boulders
- attractive tree roots or trunks
- water elements
Water elements in the garden
Water in the garden looks classy and attracts insects and small animals. The options are very diverse and very different in price. While you can set up a mini pond for around 50 euros, a professional watercourse can quickly cost several thousand.
What you can plant in the garden
It doesn't always have to be beds. With a little imagination, you can transform your garden into a creative, colorful paradise.

The vegetable garden
If you like eating fresh vegetables, you should grow something in your own garden. It is best to separate the vegetable garden from the rest of the garden with a fence or something similar. Beautiful elements for the vegetable garden that ensure a rich harvest are:
- herb snail
- Planting on straw bales
- raised bed
- mound bed
- cold frame
