There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to planting in the garden. So that you don't create a wild mess, we have put together a few nice ideas for you on how and with what you can plant your garden.
What are creative ideas for garden planting?
For creative garden planting ideas, you can design flower beds with plants and colors of different heights, use antique objects or garden figures, integrate water features such as ponds, plant unusual containers such as wine barrels or jeans and create a demarcated vegetable garden with herb snails or raised beds.
Designing flowerbeds
There are several aspects to consider when planning flower beds:
- the bed border
- the plant selection
- Design elements
- Mulch
The bed border
A bed border not only looks pretty, but also limits the growth of the plants so that they do not grow beyond the bed. Various natural materials can be used for the bed border:
- Fieldstones
- PavementSeine
- Wood
- Planting stones
The plant selection
Plants of different heights are often combined on wide beds for visual reasons. There are often taller perennials or trees in the middle, medium-sized perennials or bushes are arranged around them and small flowers or ground cover form the end. This structure looks particularly interesting if you mix flowering and green plants, creating a colorful green sea of plants. If you want to make your bed very special, you can choose just two different colors, such as white and blue or choose purple and create an elegant, two-tone bed.
Design elements
This point should not be underestimated. Design elements bring color and life to the bed or give it a very specific style. For example, you can create a country house atmosphere by equipping the bed with antique objects such as old wooden carts, wheels, milk cans or similar. Other popular design elements:
- Metal Figures
- Wooden figures
- Wind turbines
- large field stones
- attractive tree roots or trunks
- Water Elements
Water elements in the garden
Water in the garden looks elegant and attracts insects and small animals. The options are very diverse and vary in price. While you can create a mini pond (€287.00 on Amazon) for around 50 euros, a professional watercourse can quickly cost several thousand.
What you can plant in the garden
It doesn't always have to be beds. With a little imagination you can transform your garden into a creatively colorful paradise.

The Vegetable Garden
If you like eating fresh vegetables, you should grow some in your own garden. It is best to separate the vegetable garden from the rest of the garden with a fence or something similar. Beautiful elements for the vegetable garden that ensure a rich harvest are:
- Herb snail
- Planting on straw bales
- Raised bed
- hillbed
- Cold frame
