Grouping plants in garden bed to create appeal.

When planting garden beds, grouping plants in varied patterns will create a more dynamic and visually appealing landscape. Joellen Dimond shows how using a mix of leaf sizes and perennials, annuals, bulbs, and shrubs add seasonal interest and texture, while incorporating different shapes and foliage types helps break up the flat lines of buildings and walkways. Before planting, it’s important to assess the site’s sunlight, moisture, and soil conditions, and to avoid over-amending the soil, especially for larger plants. She also gives tips for selecting plants that look good together.
