To ensure the best use of your garden, you should plant many different types and colors of plants on it. You can experiment with many families of flowers. One of the benefits of this is the difference of their blooming times. Because some flowers will bloom by the end of spring and some others may not bloom till midsummer, by having different variations, you will be able to have a garden that has flowers throughout the season.

When selecting colors, do not be afraid to experiment with unique colors. Instead of the common yellow and white flowers, try purple flower types, blue and tangerine flowers. These odd colors are hard to find, but because of that, you will get a lot of complements on your garden. Because all of these plants take the same amount of work for maintenance, it does not make much of a difference on your workload when it comes to maintaining all these different plants.
