Looking to make your garden feel fuller, richer, and more visually interesting? Try layering your plants. 🌿✨
Layering adds depth, guides the eye, and keeps your landscape engaging through every season.
Here are some tips to get started:
👉 Use tall plants like trees and large shrubs to create your vertical layer. They anchor the design, add privacy, and offer shade.
👉 Add medium plants such as mid-height shrubs or flowering bushes to bring colour, texture, and seasonal interest to the middle ground.
👉 Finish with low plants like groundcovers, perennials, and small accents to soften edges and add detail at eye level.
Mixing textures, colours, and bloom times ensures your garden looks intentional and inviting all year long. Planning for four-season interest means something is always blooming, adding structure, or enhancing the view.
Layered garden designs bring depth, dimension, and balance to any Ontario landscape.
