When you receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers from a florist, it's natural to sometimes feel a little envious of the ability to create such beauty. If you examine your own garden and find it lacking you should realise it's not from lack of effort or space. Rather the problem is often in the actual design.
When The Flower Shop arranged your bouquet, the effort was not only finding fresh, colorful flora, but also in arranging it carefully to bring out the beauty with thought to colour and shape. The same can be accomplished in a home garden no matter what the size.
Of course, in a home garden, there is one complication. Plants will need to be placed in areas where they not only look the best, but where they will receive the proper amount of sunlight as well. Some plants need plenty of air and sun, while others need more protection.
Taking out a sketch pad and blocking out where your plants will need to be placed according to their needs, it is still possible to place them in the best spots where the colours, petal shapes, and leaves will bring out the best in each other.
A design once created is actually easier to follow than arranging plants randomly. The careful consideration will pay off when the flowers blossom, and their bouquet appear outside your window.
