Plants to shop for shown in this guide:
- Red geraniums - for a pop of colour
- Ivy - may winter through
- Trailing Lobularia - good filler of tiny white fragrant flowers that spill over pot edges
- Sedum - fall blooming flower in a rusty red tone, easy keeper
- Hakone - bright lime toned grass (any grass plants are easy keepers and look lush!)
- Lamb's Ears - greyish green foliage with a velvet texture, produces pink flowers late summer
- Ferns - thrive in shade and moist soil
- Grapevines - large green leaves producing abundant fruit late summer / early fall. Leaves change to vivid tones of yellow and lime early fall, then fall, leaving a delightful branchy effect. Vines can be used to craft wreaths that can be kept forever. Fast growing, easy to train, provides privacy.
How to grow a country garden around your shed:
- Add some DIY projects to your shed using reclaimed wood. ie: window boxes, a pallet porch, shutters, barn door etc.
- Insert features such as window boxes, stumps, pots, etc.
- Cut out flower beds, and fill with fertile soil.
- Plant perennials first.
- Insert annuals for fill-ins or colour next.
- Keep soil moist and well fluffed so water doesn't repel soil.
- Feed plants and flowers once a week for thriving results.
- Divide current plants often to build your garden up!
- Shop for currently blooming perennials to fill in spots that need it.
- Deadhead flowers and cut back dead growth regularly to keep flowers and plants thriving!
