Don't wonder around aimlessly with your plants. We have compiled some of the best garden plans on the net to be your guide. What's amazing is not only are the garden plans great, but they are also free!!
Hopefully a few of these garden plans will inspire you to be creative in your own backyard, but if not, don't fret. Designing your garden doesn't need to be a daunting task. Visiting local community gardens & nurseries will help give you an idea of plants that do well in your area. Also participating in garden walks is another great way to see local garden designs.
Becoming a member of a garden forum is another a great way to learn the scoop on certain plants that may look good on paper, but may not be necessarily desirable.
Exciting News!
Grindle has informed me that the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show has a website that lists many wonderful designs with pictures & plant lists. Very beautiful and inspiring. Also check out their Previous Years for more ideas.
BBC
Rather than offering garden plans BBC offers "Design Inspiration". Prepare to be inspired by your favorite gardening BBC experts. Browse Traditional, Modern, Wildlife, International or Water garden themes by budget or maintenance.
Since creating this page, I have been informed that some of the sites require registration before they will allow you to see the plans, but as I am aware they are still free. If you know of any great sites that offer free garden plans please let me know. email: boo at blossomswap dot com
The Midwest fall garden is a glorious sight to behold. I’m often guilty of taking it for granted, or perhaps even ignoring it knowing it is a precursor to the dreary winter. But once I shake that feeling, it truly is a wonderful time of year.
A bouquet of flowers can say so much. Beauty, emotion but if you are like me, a garden bouquet of fresh cut flowers screams, "Can you believe I grew these?!"
