Bowman recommends maximizing the visual impact and drama of a garden by keeping to one palette. Instead of planting a few pinks, some blues, a couple of yellows, several reds and a bit of white, she said that shades within the same color family often present a more pleasing, better harmonized bed.
Where to start
Bowman said that at a newly constructed home, the “hard-scape” of the garden must be complete before flowers and plants are placed.
“Think about it,” she said. “You have to build your house before you can decorate it. Your garden is the same. If you want a walkway, or a patio, build that first. You don’t want the workmen changing the grade of your beds with the job, and you certainly don’t want them tramping all over your new plantings.”
After the hard-scape is complete, the home owner needs to step back from the house, to discern scale and determine impact areas.
“You want the plantings to balance with the height and depth of the house,” Bowman said. “If the house is two stories, for instance, you want some height at the back of your beds. Add color, and, if it is a garden near a patio or front porch where you’re going to spend a lot of time, you want fragrance, too.”
