Gardens are a great way to beautify the entryway of your home. Filling up your home garden with different kinds of fruits, vegetables, and flowers also adds a touch of color to the space. This captivating section of the house can be set up in multiple ways. Whether you want a dedicated space for some quiet reflection or you enjoy gardening and growing your produce, here are five tips for creating a beautiful garden:

Add some color
Adding splashes of color using some flowering plants is a great way to beautify your garden and make it look more inviting. Plant herbs with beautiful flowers like rosemary, chives, thyme, and basil, or pick flowering fruits and vegetables to add variety to your garden. Variegated foliage aligning with the chosen color theme is also an effective way to add beauty to your garden. This attracts beneficial insects like bees, who can clean up pests and pollinate the garden.

Control weeds
Weeds can look unattractive and take away space and nutrition from the plants you are growing in the garden. Keep the growth of weeds in check and compost them. Consider using mulch to deter the growth of weeds around the garden.

Add personal touches
Get creative with the elements you add to the space, and let it reflect your personality. Using small ornaments, decorating a plant, or adding a lightweight frame to your garden can go a long way in making the garden even more beautiful. Garden art can be instrumental in changing the character of outdoor spaces. You can also pick exciting pots or containers for your garden to add dimension and match your overall style.

Grow multi-purpose herbs and flowers
Herbs provide variation in color and add beauty, flavor, and structure to the garden. Alongside their use in the kitchen, they make great border plants, have edible flowers, and have a pleasing and inviting aroma. You can use herbs like curly-leaved parsley, chives, lemon thyme, violets, and marigolds to beautify the space.

Install statement pieces
You can choose a plant, statue, outdoor furniture, or a piece of art as a centerpiece that draws the attention of visitors. Here’s what you can add:

Trees: A fruit tree is a great addition as it will become the garden’s central (as well as highest) point. You can draw attention to it by adding some undergrowth around it or putting it in a bright-colored container/pot. You can also hang a swing on one of its branches to make it more inviting.
Outdoor art: Outdoor art can be made of various materials and can involve elements like plants, furniture, or frames to provide a theme to your garden’s decor.
Furniture: Furniture like tables and chairs can be a lovely addition to a garden. Place them around more fragrant plants and herbs to rejuvenate and engage your senses. You can also consider adding a large swing with some comfortable pillows to make it more inviting.

Select your designs and ideas based on how big your garden is and what you’d like to get out of it so that you can plan your outdoor space accordingly. Consider getting gutter guards like LeafFilter Seamless Gutter Guards or LeafGuard to keep your gutters free from any leaf debris. The tools can help you keep your gutter lines clean and functional.
