The sense of elation you feel when you walk through a well-designed garden complete with the smells and the sights is incomparable. It's almost like a haven or a sanctuary for you to escape to. Unlike popular theories, it is rather simple and even affordable to design a flower garden. Keep in mind the basics!!
Arches
Every garden ought to have at least one arch completely covered with fragrant flowers and its very simple to create; you could simply pick up a do-it yourself kit from your local nursery and create an arch out of willows. Or you could purchase and arch and have it installed in your garden. They are now available in a range of materials from plastic to metal, so you can take your pick depending on affordability. The next step would be to plant climbers on the arches. Remember climbers grow best when left to themselves and they grow rather rapidly too. The most common kind of plants for your arch would be the Mortimer Sackler with its fragrant pink flowers, or the Madeleine Selzer which has lemon white flowers. English lavender, honeysuckle and jasmine too are easy to grow over the arches. Remember to have an arch which is a couple of inches taller than you, so that even when it's covered with flowers you can easily pass under it.
Arbors
While designing a flower garden, you must keep in mind that arbors are absolutely essential. Simply put an arbor is a specially designed seating in a shaded spot in your garden. Its size may vary according to the size of the garden. It's usually covered by a trellis, which is a simple structure that supports climbers such as ivy and honeysuckle. An arbor us sure to add an extremely romantic and medieval touch to your garden and it doesn't require much looking after either, as its supposed to be a structure which does not have any protection against the weather. Think of an arbor as a place where you can slip away to meditate or contemplate your thoughts. It should be a place where you go to find your peace of mind under all those beautiful scented flowers. The most common flowers for your trellis are honeysuckle, jasmine, and English roses. Keep only a small little place for you to sit and cover the rest with flowers to achieve an authentic look for your arbor.
Paths and Borders
Again the number of paths in your garden depends upon its size, but regardless of the number of paths you may want to have in your garden make sure you make the interesting and meandering. Plant scented flowers along the path so that you can smell them as you walk along. Cobbled paths are the latest rage but you needn't have even that if you don't want to. It could simply be a cleared space for you to walk along in your garden.
Go all out and have fun with the borders of your garden. Experiment with different kinds of shrubs and flowers and decide which one you may like to have. Of course the staunch Victorians had rules like the bigger the garden, the bigger should be the border but now it's an extremely private choice. But do make sure that you plant lots and lots of flora and fauna as borders as it gives a nice overgrown look.
