If you want to create a long garden but don’t know how to go about it, here’s our advice:
> start by simulating your garden with our ingenious garden design system, to be sure of your choice before you start buying plants and materials.
> identify annoying faces and unsightly views, and place evergreen plants or fences in front of them to conceal them (here, the swing on the left).
> Lay out a pathway that will allow you to cross your garden to get to the bottom without getting your feet dirty. Avoid straight paths, which increase the effect of depth, but favor winding ones that can create different spaces.
> create a focal point at the bottom of the garden, where the eye will be drawn to. This can be a flower pot, a pretty, structured plant, a fountain… (here a clear pot with a tasselled shrub).
>Finally, plant shrubs and flowerbeds to add the desired splashes of color.
if you don’t know what to choose, we’ve thought of everything and created “ready-to-plant compositions” on specific themes: mixed hedges, flowerbeds of your choice of color, zen gardens… (here we’ve put a hedge on the left and 3 “ready-to-plant” beds that play this role.
The plants featured in these compositions are detailed in the email you’ll receive at the end of the creation process, along with a planting plan.
The garden can be considered an essential part of the home, which is why it’s essential to decorate it in its own image. You need to feel good in your garden, and to do that, you need to do some decorating. You’ll find plenty of solutions on the Internet for decorating your garden with shrubs, flowers, paving stones or more or less white gravel.

A trellis to enhance and organize your garden
The trellis is a solution that both compartmentalizes a garden and enhances it at the same time. These pieces can be used, for example, to define the boundaries of a vegetable garden you’ve created at the end of your garden, or to create a wellness area, etc. There are several models available for decorating your garden. Climbing plants such as roses, golden hops with magnificent leaves, passionflowers, Virginia creeper and jasmine can be planted alongside. These flowers climb easily up the trellis and add a thousand sparkles to your garden.
