If you have a garden, you know how much fun it can be, especially when you are a little creative with the design. Creating is basically what you are doing any time you plant a garden, because the plants you are growing are living. Your garden is about the plants, but you can choose which kind you want to plant, along with everything the surrounding area will be decorated with. Being creative with your garden can sometimes need fresh ideas, so here are some.

It is hard to make a garden when there isn't enough room. Any time you don't have enough space for your garden, use a terrarium or a glass container. You can make an attractive garden for indoors by using a terrarium for growing herbs. One advantage to this type of garden is that you won't have to water the herbs very often, because such an enclosed environment will retain moisture. You could use several small glass containers, or a large terrarium, like an aquarium usually used for fish. When you are doing this kind of garden, it will be much easier to manage, when the herbs you are using are small.

If you are presented with the challenge of planting on a piece of land that is at an angle, you can creatively get around this in many ways. That's because you can arrange your plants in a harmonious way, so you have taller plants and trees at the bottom and lower ones higher up. Your garden can be very unique if you put in a stairway that people have to ascend descend when observing what you are growing. If you do have a slope or a hill, you must make the best of the space that you have available when planting your garden. This type of garden is more difficult to do because it requires ingenuity and original thinking.

There are many people who prefer the randomness of a wildflower garden as opposed to the orderliness of a more formal layout. It can be easier to maintain a wildflower garden than more formal types, so this is a good choice if you don't want to put a lot of time or expense into a garden. As with any type of garden, however, you have to make sure you have the right amount of sunlight and that the wildflowers get enough water. You must also relentlessly destroy and remove any weeds in the plot where you plan to put your wildflower garden. The charm of a wildflower garden is its natural look - like it just dropped in from some meadow out in the country - but you can exercise a little control and make the layout more to your liking if you so choose.

It is important to stay creative as you create the blueprint for your garden that you are going to plant this year. You have the choice of making your garden as traditional or unique as you want. The above ideas on creative gardening are certainly not the final word on the subject; they are only meant to get you thinking in new directions.
