You’ve looked at the blank canvas in the backyard long enough but how do you transform it into the garden of your dreams?

Creating a garden may seem overwhelming but it is easier than you think.

Here are our ‘Top 10’ tips and tricks to get you started, including:

  • Deciding on a style
  • Fashion or function?
  • Getting ‘arty’

Our top 10

Creating your own garden from scratch is exciting, if not a little daunting.

Time spent planning and thinking about how you and your family want to use this space will ensure you end up with a garden that meets your needs.

1. Choose a style

What kind of garden would you like?

  • Visit some ‘Open Gardens’ or drive around your neighborhood for inspiration.
  • Decide on a style you like that suits your home. A garden can add valuable $$ to your selling price if it compliments your home.
  • What sort of atmosphere do you want to create – a Bali-inspired resort garden around the pool or an English country garden for afternoon tea?

2. Function over fashion

While a beautiful garden is glorious, the space you have is valuable and it should meet the needs of you and your family. It should be functional but it can also be fashionable, depending on how you ‘style’ the essentials.

Make sure you have:

  • Room for a clothesline.
  • Lawn for the kids.
  • Relaxed seating and dining area.
  • A veggie or herb garden.
  • Privacy.
  • The time to care for it – some gardens require more maintenance than others.

Decide how much time you have available or want to spend on the garden.

3. Draw a ‘napkin sketch’

You don’t have to be an architect to draw up a rough plan.

It will help you picture the final layout of your garden.

  • Start by drawing up your yard.
  • Make a list of the critical features (functional elements), and position these first.
  • Use garden beds and paths to link the elements. Make sure these are wide enough to achieve the look you want.
  • List the plants or ideas you have for each bed (this could be a knee-high white flower hedge with purple flowers one meter high behind).
  • Mark North on your plan. This will be critical when it comes to choosing the right plants.

4. A picture’s worth a thousand words

Take photos of the plants you like and the look you wish to achieve, then visit a local nursery or garden center with your plan.

The staff should be able to advise you if the plants you like will fit in the position and area you have chosen – or they may suggest something similar that would work better.

5. Mass plant

Individual plants may look appealing but they don’t have the impact of a large group.

Mass planting (planting in groups of three or five – ALWAYS an odd number!) is a great way for new gardeners to create maximum impact with only a few different plants. It’s also currently in vogue in stylish gardens.

6. Maximise foliage

Flowers are lovely but between flowering seasons it’s the variations in foliage that keep your garden looking stunning.

Look for different colors, shapes, and styles of leaves. Try color coordinating plants in groups or swathes to create a picture that will shine all year round.

7. Seasonal interest

Flowers are just one way of celebrating the seasons. They are colorful and often fragrant but there are other ways to introduce seasonal interest.

  • Try to think of the colors you already have in your garden, and choose flower colors to suit.
  • Other plants produce fruits, berries, colored foliage, or vibrant stems.

Make a point of looking at other gardens throughout the year, and adapt some of the ideas you’ve seen for your own garden, to capture the best of each season.

8. Getting ‘arty’

Sculptures, collectibles, and old wares add personality to your garden. They can be used as a focal point or as a gap filler between seasons.

Don’t forget laser-cut metal or timber screens and wall panels and the like to add a touch of glamour to otherwise blank and unappealing walls or fen
