Get great garden design tips from renowned Canadian designer Brian Minter.
Integrate Your Plants
Vegetables and herbs have a place in the flower garden. Brian Minter uses herbs to edge his beds and borders, and he's especially partial to variegated mint because it arrives early and stays late. "In the garden, integration is the key," he says. The mint's aroma wafts on the breeze when visitors brush against it, and the chefs in the garden's restaurants snip sprigs to flavor the day's fare.
Play Up Texture
Pay attention to foliage texture, as well as color. Here, for example, purple heuchera makes a lovely contrast against 'Burgundy Glow' ajuga and gray-blue stones.
Put Trees and Shrubs in Pots
Don't think container gardens are limited to annuals -- you can use trees and shrubs to make a bold impact. Here, for example, ferny Sorbaria 'Sem' is a stunning partner for burgundy-leaf Red Majestic hazelnut.
