Having a floral garden can do wonders for your daily routine. Not only are plants fantastic for the environment, but they are also stunning to look at and are scientifically proven to put you in a good mood. Looking after flowers can also give you a great sense of achievement and helps hone your organisational skills.
But how does one get started on preparing
the garden you want? Our experts here at Gift Flowers Singapore, your number
one online florist, have got all the tips and tricks you need on how to start a
beautiful floral garden.
Step-by-step
tutorial guide to preparing your desired floral garden
- Understand your garden: Before you get into the ins and outs of how to make your garden, you need to familiarise yourself with the land you want to plant on, the light exposure, moisture levels, the soil and what plants grow well in it. Hydrangeas, for example, absorb water quickly, so the soil of hydrangea plants must be kept evenly moist and well-drained. In drier climates and seasons, you may need to water more than once per day. Our MIXED HYDRANGEAS WITH VASE are kept indoors and make very elegant décor. Price: S$170.00. If where you are planting is prone to getting frost, learn about the seasonal weather cycle there and make sure you plant 4 to 6 weeks before the start of the frost state.
- Choose your favourite colour theme: Think about the impact that the colour of your flowers will have on your landscape. You can create complementary colour schemes with the help of a colour wheel. Sunny areas favour yellows, oranges and reds, and are gorgeous during sunset or sunrise. For a cooler, calmer effect, blues and purples are great to go for. Opposite colours on the wheel will give a fresh and lively appeal to your garden, such as blue and yellow flowers. An example would be our MIXED SUNFLOWER AND BABY BREATH WITH VASE, an excellent combo of bright and cheerful yellow flowers with dashes of light blue baby breaths to mellow it down. A delight to keep in the office or study room. Price: S$170.00
- Flower garden designs: Choose a good combination of flower shapes and sizes. Some flower shapes complement each other, but others clash. A mixture of bigger and smaller flowers can be a truly head-turning experience but be sure that one does not over-take the other. We would highly recommend you have a look at reference photos and our bouquets or flower gifts for inspiration to see which combinations you like best.
Additional floral garden tips
For an effective flower bed preparation,
experts advise to plant flowers closer together for a more productive garden
and to reduce weeds. Don’t forget to maintain wide paths between flower beds so
as not to risk trampling on your flowers when looking after them.
If you are planning to grow flowers for cutting, grow some foliage as well as some filler plants for floral arrangements. Flowers in our GRAND HARMONY foliage gives it dimension and help the roses stand out beautifully. Price: S$225.00
