Undulating borders contain beautiful blooms.
Mulch is an essential; it keeps weeds down and conserves moisture. Here, it also provides a tidy element between plants.
Use geometry to contrast or complement; here, the flower bed’s curving borders repeat in the gentle edging of lawn.
Plants chosen in mostly similar hues — lavender, light purple, and fuchsia, for example — offer a soothing palette for the garden.
Access to, around, and through the garden is essential; a series of round paving stones leads visitors through the grass border.
hardscape structures — such as this garden’s tall birdhouse — add whimsy with function.
