No matter what your plans are for your garden, whether you want to mold it into a particular shape or style, you will inevitably be working with flowers. They are the very heart and soul of any garden, the reason that we put in the time and effort to create them.
While we often talk about the various ways that we can design and shape our gardens, we rarely take a close look at the individual flowers that make up those gardens. That’s why we’ve gathered together some of our favorite photos of garden flowers, so that we can appreciate their delicate beauty in their natural habitat.
As you peruse these photos, keep an eye out for any particular flowers that catch your fancy, as you may want to incorporate them into your own garden. And first up on our list is a stunning archway covered in pink roses, a perfect example of the kind of beauty that can be created with just a few well-placed plants.
One of the things we find most appealing about this combination is the stunning juxtaposition of vibrant pink roses, rich green foliage, and the immaculate white trellis archway. The roses are perfectly placed to capture attention without being too overpowering. We’re calling this pairing “Mailbox and Mums.”
We are huge fans of displaying our beloved flowers in a prominent and visible location for everyone to enjoy. A great way to transform the outlook of your landscape is by adding a pop of color around your mailbox. It’s one of the easiest and most efficient ways to elevate your curb appeal. Furthermore, we love the idea of using an old fountain as a garden feature.
We have a penchant for unconventional container gardens and this time, we’re excited to share with you the transformation of a massive birdbath.

Ivy can work wonders when it comes to beautifying walls, homes, and other structures.
