How to arrange plants in a garden for beginners?
Arrange plants in odd number groupings of the same plant, rather then dotting plants throughout the bed/border, to create drifts of the same plant for bigger visual impact. Generally taller plants are placed in the back and shorter in the front. Key Concepts to Remember The first step when organizing plants is to create vertical and horizontal layers with a repeating pattern of plants within the layers to visually connect the garden spaces. When arranging individual plants in the beds, space them so that they touch when they reach mature size.
